Antigua & Barbuda Cricket Fest 2010 Tuesday, 9th March 2010
A 20/20 MASTERS CRICKET FESTIVAL WITH A DIFFERENCE

We would like to invite you and Caribbean Sports Club to participate in the Antigua and Barbuda International Masters 20/20 Cricket Tournament to be held at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium from Wednesday 17th - Sunday 21st November 2010.
It has been a couple of years since the last Masters Cricket Tournament was held in Antigua and having worked together on numerous projects Richie Rich Sports & Leisure and Indigo Event Services have decided to join forces and stage this annual event.
The Fest will include an international Masters 20/20 tournament and two exhibition 20/20 matches featuring Lashings World XI and the Antigua national team, the very popular Wadadli Cats Party Cruise, a Gala dinner and presentation ceremony and other exciting activities.
With endorsement from the Antigua and Barbuda Ministry of Tourism; Ministry of Sport; and the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority it is our plan that the Fest will go from strength to strength each year, increasing Sports Tourism on the island. In addition, we are also seeking sponsorship from the private sector both on and off the island.
We are having discussions with all the teams who played in the previous Masters Tournaments and it is hoped that the England Over 45s, Bermuda Masters, Dubai Masters, Ontario Canada Masters, New York Masters, Nevis Masters Cricket Cub, Caribbean Cricket Club of Florida, St. Croix Sports Club and Antigua Masters Cricket Club together with Ye Olde Colonials will be among those taking part.
As mentioned earlier, Lashings World XI, which consist of all international players, have agreed to join us and in addition to playing the exhibition matches, they will be doing some coaching with our young players here on the island - this is a terrific opportunity for our developing players and something that will add a different facet to the Fest.
To make it more fun for everyone, we would love the overseas teams to bring their friends and families, and are in the process of organizing some excellent hotel rates. We are also looking to organize a few tours, including the ever popular Wadadli Cats Fun Cruise, to make sure that they have some fun and get to explore the island!
Turning to the nitty gritty of the Fest, we are trying to keep the costs as low as possible whilst making sure that we have a great Fest and believe we have put together a very cost effective package for everyone. There is a registration fee of $450 per club payable no later than 1st June 2010 and this includes the following:
* Group transportation from VC Bird International Airport to your hotel (visitors)
* Group transportation to and from your hotel to the grounds (visitors)
* Group transportation to and from your hotel to official functions (visitors)
* Lunch and refreshments on match days for players (on a cash basis for others)
* Wadadli Fun Cruise
* Welcome Reception
* Gala Dinner - A Night with the Stars
* Fest Gift Bag and T-shirt (players only)
Please note that:
* Clubs are to provide their own colored uniform.
* Players must be 45 years of age and over. However, each team will be permitted to have a maximum of 4 players between the ages of 40 and 45 playing in a match.
* Players who have played 1st class cricket in the last 10 years are exempt from playing.
* There will be a captains briefing with the umpires prior to the start of the tournament.
* Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements to Antigua and hotel bills.
Apart from trophies, we intend to have prize monies for the winners and runners-up of $2,000 and $1,000 if we can raise the funds.
We hope the above has given you some food for thought and we welcome your feedback; your input and most of all, your support in playing.

Yours sincerely,

Richie Richardson - GCM, Ambassador At Large
