Fellow Cricketers,

Playing Cricket in November in Florida? If that sounds appetising, please read on as that is just the first course.

YOU ARE INVITED TO PLAY IN THE 15TH SARASOTA SIX A SIDE FESTIVAL, NOVEMBER 26-30, 2008.

Sarasota is renowned for having some of the whitest sandy beaches in the world. Weather temperatures during this period are in the mid 80's and the host hotel this year will be on the sands of Lido Beach on the Gulf of Mexico.

The Festival format comprises of 15 teams, normally teams bring 7 or 8 players. Teams are divided into three groups.

Groups A and B play for the Festival Shield starting with a round robin. The two leading teams in each group proceed to the finals on Sunday.

Group C, known in the past as the "Fun Group" - the players being in their 40's but still competitive. The two leading teams proceed to Finals Day.

This year for the teams arriving early you are welcome to play in the Pelican Shield on Wed 26th. The format is a traditional game of cricket where sides are made up of players from various teams wishing to acclimatize, practice and enjoy wonderful hospitality.

The Festival's success owes a lot to the Social Programme over the years. This year will be no different with welcome drinks, two parties and the Gala Dinner. Players also receive the Festival souvenir and lunch at the ground on Finals Day.

Let me stress that availability is limited so please make your reservations as soon as possible by e-mailing Karin Parry at karinhparry@aol.com or fax us at + 941 924 2260.

The cost of the Festival package is $160 per person. The Host hotel is the Helmsley Sandcastle on Lido Beach. www.helmsleysandcastle.com Hotel rates between $94 Pool Side and $109 Gulf View per room per night.
