Regards, Mike Michael P Maher Chiang Mai International Cricket Sixes Tournament 2001

CHIANG MAI INTERNATIONAL CRICKET SIXES 2001

The 14th Chiang Mai Sixes are now only a matter of days away, and this year’s renewal of one of the most popular events on the amateurs’ international cricketing calendar promises to be the biggest and best in its now well-established history.

For those who are in the dark, every April Thailand’s second city plays host to cricketing enthusiasts from round the world for a week of hectic activity - on and off the field - and is transformed into the "party capital of the world".

This year 27 men’s and 2 ladies’ teams will be slugging it out for one of the 5 trophies on offer - not including the annual "Star’s Challenge". 14 matches a day make it one of the busiest tournaments of its kind, and any team drawn to open the day’s proceedings at 8.30 in the morning can be sure of many sympathy votes - though several in this unenviable slot prefer to come straight from their chosen nightspot rather than bother with unnecessary extras like sleep.

This year, though we have rather lost count, we think we have teams heralding from 12 countries - England, Wales, Ireland, Australia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, New Zealand, Malaysia, Thailand, Greece, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. No doubt there will be individuals from many more - one such devotee being Cyrus Maybud, a Swiss lawyer who last year led the first ever team from Switzerland, Cern-Zuoz. The team can’t make it this year, but Cyrus is not going to let that minor problem let him miss the party.

Some teams, like the famous Wombats (though they did rather spoil their record in 2000 by winning their second game in 14 years), are ever-presents. Others will be new to the tournament - Hampton Hound Dogs and Alma Marist from S.A., Jack Frost and B.A.Dragons from the UK, the Thai-based Pectels 69, and Awali Taverners from Bahrain, which is a great source of pride to the tournament as, since Bahrain sent only 4 competitors to Sydney 2000, Chiang Mai can now justifiably claim to be "bigger than the Olympics".

These teams and the old faithfuls will all be lining up with greater or lesser degrees of determination to wrest the prize from the MCC, whose 2 teams finished 1st and 2nd last year. This year they return in perhaps even more formidable strength, led by the former Surrey batsman David Ward.

But among the aspirant amateurs will be a host of star players seeking to inspire their teammates on to unimagined feats of cricketing heroism - Mike Gatting the former England captain will make his tournament debut, and will be joined by ex-Australia spinner Tom Hogan, South Africans Kenny Jackson, HD Ackerman, Alan Dawson and Jonny Commins and a number of former Sri Lankan internationals including Rumesh Ratnayeke and Alistair Jordon of New Zealand.

Now all this cricket does tend to demand a proportionate amount of social activity and Chiang Mai is just the place. The Pornping Tower Hotel hosts a spectacular opening night cocktail party, while at the Gymkhana Club itself there are two major official functions - a pig-picking barbecue with disco, fancy-dress and team revues, and the final night’s gala prize-giving dinner. In addition to this, the huge Anglo-Australian Postels group host a "pre-opening night" bash at the Sugar Shack Bar in the city centre, and the Irish Pub is hosting an informal "meet the Stars night" later in the week.

The tournament is however perhaps proudest of its links with the local community and with charity. Last year saw the inauguration of a Kanga Cricket Tournament for local schools, which was a huge success and will be repeated this year but on a much larger scale. It is the dream of tournament chairman Maurice Bromley to get cricket established in Thai schools, and this year’s take-up, featuring almost exclusively Thai children, shows that major progress is being made towards the realisation of that dream. On a similar theme, the Chiang Mai Sixes are honoured to be associated with UNICEF, which does such invaluable work to aid disadvantaged children throughout the world and not least in Thailand.

From March 31st to April 7th, Chiang Mai will once again not know what’s hit it!

Hua Hin International Cricket Sixes Tournament 2001

Sunday April 8 - Thursday April 12 2001

WHERE: Dusit Polo Club & Resort / Hua Hin, Southern Thailand, (on the coast).

INVITATION

The Organisers of the Hua Hin International Cricket Sixes Tournament (H.H.I.C.S.T.) would like to invite you and your team to the 2001 event, which will be staged during the second week of April, just prior to Easter (and "Songkran", the Thai New Year and Water Festival).

The Dusit Polo Club & Resort is a top class 5 Star resort located on the Southern coast of Thailand near the pleasant and very clean town of Hua Hin (also the home of the King and Queen of Thailand). The resort has 2 fantastic swimming pools (1 very large one and the other has a very comfortable pool bar), has its own private beach, 5 top quality restaurants, 4 great fun bars (2 with entertainment and Happy Hours every night). All rooms are superb with cable TV, a balcony, mini-bar, top quality room service and many other features.

Hua Hin town has all that you and your team needs to have a fun stay. There are many restaurants (including many seafood outlets right on the sea), many bars (many that sponsor the Hua Hin Tournament), some nightclubs, markets and many shopping outlets, banks and exchange offices.

The actual tournament is held on the Dusit Polo Club and Resort grounds, which is a short walk from the guest rooms. This makes it very convenient for teams to enjoy the facilities of the resort and then all go to the ground and play their fixtured game. Once at the ground there of course are facilities for COLD drinks and food. So either before or after your games it is very pleasant having a few drinks with your team mates, other teams, supporters and officials.

There are 2 main sections of the tournament 1/ The OPEN Group and 2/ The Alan Lamb Masters Competition.

The Open Group consists of 2 rounds. The first being the preliminary games which sort out the various Divisions (Cup, Plate & Bowl). The second round is played in groups and the winners of each division will be decided after semi-finals and finals games. (Each team is assured of at LEAST 5 games)

The Alan Lamb Masters Group is for the Older, more Social cricketers. The idea of the group is to have a pleasant holiday, play some cricket (minimum of 3 or 4 games), golf and generally enjoy the social atmosphere of the Hua Hin International Cricket Sixes Tournament.

There are 3 top quality and enjoyable functions which are held throughout the tournament.

The first is the Opening Dinner at the fantastic Seaside Seafood Restaurant. This is a great way to get to know everyone and to enjoy truly fantastic, top quality seafood. Dont worry if anyone doesnt like seafood, there is plenty of various other foods for everyone at this function.

The second function is held mid-week and is a very nice relaxed Thai night. (various succulent Thai specialties) Some of these dishes are very interesting, but also very tasty.

The closing dinner and presentation is held in a charming setting in the gardens of the resort. There is entertainment, presentations, a short cricket forum with the Star Players and again great food prepared by the Dusit Resort Chefs.

The cost of the Tournament is 30,000 Baht per team of 8 (approx. 480 GB Pound, $1,330 AUD or $825 USD at today's exchange rate). This is fantastic value given the fact that the 8 team members receive TWO tournament Polo Shirts, a Cap, Tournament Magazine, the 3 top quality functions and all the cricket that is provided.

Supporters, wives, children and partners are also welcome to join the tournament and be part of it. A cost of 1,200 Baht (approx. 20 GB Pound, $50 AUD or $27 USD) will cover entry into the three fantastic functions and to also enjoy the cricket?!

As the official World Co-ordinator and Agent for the Tournament and the Dusit Resort and Polo Club, I will happily arrange all accommodation and transfers for you. (The special tournament cost of a room per night / single or double is approx. 45 GB Pound, $120 AUD or $65 USD) Depending on the numbers, the transfer costs will be forwarded on later, however this cost will not be high. (approx. 15 GBP, $40 AUD or $20 USD)

We are currently negotiating Group Rate Airfares from London and Australia to Thailand. We expect to receive great, low cost fares and will forward these special rates to you when available. We will also negotiate group rates from other cities and countries if needed!

If you have an interest in coming to the tournament but are unable to actually nominate a full team, please let me know and I will happily arrange for you to join up and form a team with others. I already know of a few people who are going to do this. We want anyone who is interested in coming along to feel free to do so!!

If you would like any other details or information please dont hesitate in getting back to me and I will happily respond with these details right away.

I look forward to welcoming you to this unique, well organised and fun event and assure you that your group and you will enjoy it very much.

PadMir International presents: CRICKET SIXES TOURNAMENTS Dear Sir/Madam, I am e-mailing to inform you of a couple of Cricket Sixes Tournaments being held in the next six months. My name is Michael P Maher (Cat) and I am an official Co-ordinator for a number of cricket sixes tournaments, including the 2 events mentioned below. I am also one of the official co-ordinators for the world famous Chiang Mai International Cricket Sixes Tournament. I have a number of people who will speak on my behalf if you want any proof of me being authentic in this position as a co-ordinator for these events. I am located in Australia and handle all teams in Europe, Africa, Asia and the America's. My partner, Dr Richard Davis is located in London and he is my representative for Europe and helps also with the other regions. Cricket Sixes is a fun, fast enjoyable way to play cricket in hot and humid conditions. It is fast and exciting, with big hitting and lots of running. However, it is over in 45 minutes and perfect for a few beers! It only takes 5 overs for each team, the highest score wins! Each of the events mentioned below are a great chance to either have a guys club cricketers trip away, or to come along with partners and friends to combine some cricket and pleasure on a holiday. The 6th PSC International Sixes - Penang / Malaysia

Friday 1st - Sunday 3rd December 2000

The Penang Sports Club Cricket Section has been successfully organising the last 5 International Cricket 6s. This tournament is held on the beautiful tourist Island of Penang in Malaysia.

The tournament has now grown to greater heights by attracting many foreign and local teams. Last year, we also had the distinguished privilege of having the President of the Malaysian Cricket Association and Olympic Council of Malaysia, YAM Tunku Tan Sri Imran Ibni Tuanku Jaafar as our Guest of Honour at the closing ceremony.

The challenge trophy has also been upgraded and re-named as the "Tunku Imran Trophy" to befit the event. It has also been featured in the National Cricket Calender as an important event.

Objectives / Aim

The main objective is to allow members to play lots of Cricket among the invited Clubs and thereafter socialise and enjoy the company of the participants from the respective Clubs.

Date of Tournament

The tournament for this year has been fixed for during the weekend of 1st to 3rd December 2000.

The State of Penang presently boasts of having more Cricket pitches after being the venue for the just concluded "SUKMA Malaysia". With additional facilities being available, we unlike previous years would not restrict participation by any team. You will be able to enter more than one team.

Dinner / Entertainment

A grand dinner will be hosted on Saturday, 2 December 2000 to extend the usual Penang Sports Club hospitality.

The closing date for nomination and acceptance for this unique event is 15 August 2000.

Entrance Fees

The entrance fee for the tournament remains the same as last year i.e. US$250.00 per team. (The fee covers the welcome cocktail party, souvenir and the grand tournament dinner and shows).
