I. Registration forms which have been designed to fit in with ICC/ACA requirements need to be distributed to all players and returned. (A copy is attached to this email). We need these so that we can contact all players, inform all players and collate information for ICC/ACA regarding numbers and experience. I would urge you to forward these forms to all your players and ask them to return them to Corra Nyirenda on cnyirenda@saints.mw who is the admin support for the MCU. This is also the email you should use if you have any queries about cricket development.
J. We are planning a website for MCU to include all the information about cricket in your area and details about all clubs. Please send this to Corra now. The site will also include MCU policies and the new constitution when it has been agreed.
K. An MCU handbook will support the website.
We want to engage and inform all players. Please pass on comments and information to us to go out in the next information letter. The more player emails we have the more people that will be informed.

MCU Committee.
