We are pleased to announce the final details for the end of season Presentation Dinner and Awards night on the 9th of November at Venue 16 in Ipswich.

Following last years fantastic dinner, we are delighted to announce that former England batsman Mark Ramprakash will be the after-dinner speaker this year. One of the highest scoring domestic batsmen of his generation, Ramprakash played 70 times for England and scored just short of 3,000 runs to go alongside his 50,000 domestic runs. Ramprakash after his retirement in 2012, spent 6 years as England’s batting coach, being part of the coaching set up that won the 2015 ashes. Following the end of his coaching stint with England, Mark went into the franchise circuit as a batting consultant all around the world.

The Awards Ceremony will follow Mark’s speech, each Divisional winner throughout the competition and runners up in Divisions 1-9 will receive their engraved trophies and pennants. All the winners of the Ladies T20 competitions and the winners of both Sunday League’s will also be presented with trophies and pennants. A list of winners is also attached.

We will begin the night with a sit down three course meal at 7:30pm, to which the menu is attached to this email.
