Tracey and Gwyn had another good morning at DCF's Parkinson's Cricket in Allestree today. After a long warm-up, everyone got down to cricket, including getting balls way up the stage, followed by tea and biscuits and the all-important chat!

Tracey and Gwyn met Alex and the friendly crowd at Monday Mates. We had a slow start because one of the participants had a flat tyre which took some arranging to sort. Additional excitement was a visit by a cyclist cycling between all the county cricket grounds for charity. He'd started in Chester-le-Street! There was an opportunity to watch cricket practice on a hot summery day. We all had a great morning, despite a rumoured cake not appearing.

Becky, Tracey and Gwyn met Alex from DCF and the friendly group at Parkinson's Cricket. It was great to see Becky: welcome to the group! We had a lively chat at the start, then got down to Boccia! It was a tight game, with a 2-1 split of wins, one of them by a centimetre. We then proceeded to cricket, with fine form displayed by the players. A chatty tea and biscuit session brought our enjoyable morning to a close.

Tracey and Gwyn met the Mates at DCF's Monday Mates monthly session. Perhaps because of school holidays and a local party, there were only six comers. We had a good time and a friendly chat and had a big brunch too!

Tracey and Gwyn joined the happy gang at Parkinson's Cricket. Alex from DCF had a competitive theme and had two games of bowling accuracy then one of batting accuracy, with one team winning two of the games, and the other one. A close match! We went on to a cricket game, tea and biscuits. It's a rewarding morning!

Tracey and Gwyn met third man Alex and old and new friends at the Parkinson's Cricket session in Allestree. The cricketers were on fine form and ojr legs were kept busy recovering the balls, with only a few slips. We finished with a long stop for tea and biscuits.
