We are very sad to have to report that Roger Towler died in his sleep on 4th November. The service will be held at Bentley Crematorium on Monday the 9th of December at 2-30 and reception afterwards at Ashwells Country Club.
Roger was a real gentleman, great company and extremely generous. He will be sorely missed sitting outside the pavilion on a Saturday afternoon
enjoying a laugh and a drink, whilst regaling us with cricket anecdotes and his association with Jack Petchey.
Roger was a man who had time for everybody and was respected by all in the club. Here is a photo of Roger taken at the Bertie Joel Final in 2013.

Ground Renovation Our new grass is coming up! Photo here.
Dean Ahmad Deanplayed a handful of games for Shenfield in
2014 and 2015.
Will he now prove a handful for Lord Sugar in
The Apprentice? At Shenfield he frequently showed promise before being dismissed early.
How will he perform against his competition in The Apprentice? Start watching from Wednesday October 2nd in case he gets a first baller.

Ground Renovation To protect the newly-sown grass seed the area has been enclosed and will need to remain so until the new grass is established.
It is anticipated that this will take 3 to 4 months, depending on the weather.
The area was excessively worn in places and hadn’t had any serious attention in 4/5 decades.
We needed to improve the quality of the surface for safety reasons. The poor surface caused cricket balls to bounce erratically, risking injury to fielders by virtue of the ball rising suddenly or keeping unexpectedly low. Additional photos here.

Ground Renovation Work started today on our much-needed ground renovation and is progressing quickly! See photos here.
