At the @yorkshireccc.bsky.social Members' Forum on Saturday, we were able to present our cheques to the Club, two £1500 donations to the mens' and womens' squad. These donations will be spent on booking flights/accomodation for younger senior pros playing cricket overseas this coming winter.
Also, we will be running the bookstall during lunch on days 1 and 2 of the Hampshire game. This will be located outside the Long Room doors, weather permitting. Please note, we do not want any donations of books!

The YCCSA is sad to report the death of Veronica Denby.
Veronica was a founding member of the Association and was a committee member for several years. She will be remembered especially by those who visited the Kabin where she was a familiar face for so many years. 1/2
