Dear Kaipaki Nation,

Kaipaki is hosting  Clifton County Cricket Club from Hawkes Bay this weekend. We will again be playing for the coveted Greatbatch/Bradley Bat (which we haven't won in two attempts). Clifton CCC are producing a very strong team for this game. They hosted us superbly last year and I'm sure Kaipaki will do the same for them.

THE STRUCTURE OF THE WEEKEND IS AS FOLLOWS:

Friday 25th November 2016

• Kaipaki Cricket Cultural Session (Good Banter) at Smith & McKenzies (Grassroots Trust Pub) starting at 6.00pm. All Kaipaki enthusiasts are encouraged and expected to attend. Please wear number ones... that obviously includes your Kaipaki Blazers. Non negotiable. 
• We haven't really had an opportunity to kick start this season so maybe this is the event? 

 
Saturday 26th November 2016

• Match vs Clifton CC at Kaipaki Oval starting at 12.00pm
• After Game Party at Martin Bradley's House in Tamahere - It's one of the bigger houses in Hamilton so you are more than welcome to stay the night. At last count his house sleeps 273 people. 
• A Pig On A Spit, Two Kegs, and much more will be supplied. You need to let me know asap if you will be at this event. 

Sunday 27th November 2016

• Kaipaki Day at the Test Match - NZ vs Pakistan (We'll have cordoned off area again)

This is one of Kaipaki's marquee cricketing weekends. Also a big congratulations to John Parker's mentor Donald Trump for becoming President of United States of America. 

Kind regards,
​
