The Annual Kaipaki Cricket Tour will be to Hawkes Bay. Please confirm your place in the Kaipaki Touring Squad by Friday 4th December 2015.
Kaipaki in conjunction with Clifton Cricket Club are organising a 3 day cricket carnival with Wellington Wanderers, Auckland CC, Clifton and Kaipaki all competing for The Greatbatch/Bradley Cricket Bat. We are hoping this cricket carnival will become an annual event with all 4 cricket clubs sharing the hosting duties on a rotational basis.
Details of the tour are below. I would like to take a squad of no more than 15 players. The WAGS are definitely invited again and are all encouraged to come down with us.
Travel
Members of the touring party will find their own transport down to Hawkes Bay. This allows flexibility for families etc.
Accommodation
Members of the touring party will source their own accommodation. This again allows flexibility for families etc with different budgets. Mark Greatbatch has informed me that he would be encouraging touring members to stay around the Havelock North area. There are many quality restaurants, cocktails bars and shops around Havelock North. Plus it is close to the Clifton Cricket Ground. Here are some helpful accommodation links:

Travel Uniform
We will again be designing a classy tour shirt with the addition of a classy touring sweater. Beige/Khaki shorts will be part of the touring attire once more!
