Flicx International Sponsors ICC Development Program

Flicx International have agreed to provide each of the ICC Development Program's five regions with 8 of their revolutionary pitches over the course of 2002 as part of a great competition. Has cricket made a real difference to your community, or have you introduced cricket to a place where it has never been played before? If so, log on to www.flicx.com and click on Competitions' for further details, then click on the title (Where have you taken cricket? What has it done for you in your community?') to go to the online entry form. You could win a pitch, a subscription to a top cricket magazine or a variety of other prizes.

The EDM will be reviewing the European entries, along with Richard Beghin and Pierre Malherbe (CEO & MD of Flicx International, respectively), and has undertaken to consider all non-winning entries with a view to providing financial support for a Flicx pitch for those make a convincing case for it. Any European entries sent to Flicx should, therefore, be copied to "mailto:adam.cole@mcc.org.uk", accompanied by a current report on youth development within the country and details of where the pitch would be located, and how and by whom it would be used. Entries should be submitted by 31 January so that funding can, if appropriate, be provided from the current financial year's budget.

We are often told that development in many parts of Europe is being hampered by the lack of pitches and, in particular, pitches offering consistent bounce and pace. This is your chance to put that right. Don't miss out get your entry in now!
