21.01.2022 REST IN PEACE Friday, 24th April 2020 This message to Yarra Valley Over 60's players Tom and Arthur Steele was sent by Yarra Valley Vice President, Bill Dobson, on Thursday, 23rd April 2020.... "Hello Tom and Arthur, On behalf of your team mates at Yarra Valley I would like to let both of you know we are thinking of you today after losing four of your police colleagues in the traffic tragedy yesterday. Your service in the job is appreciated by all of us." Tom Steele sent the following response to the Yarra Valley Club. "The thoughts and sentiments from members of our Yarra Valley Cricket Team are very much appreciated. My flag flies at half mast and will do so until tomorrow morning. Underneath the flag is the Gallipoli Rose, RSL Rose and the Angela Taylor Rose, (named after the Policewoman who was killed in the Russell Street bombing). It is the pinkish one in the photograph and it is very fitting it should stand tall and proud at the moment and in bloom. Once again Thank You. Kindest Regards, Tom". Also, Arthur Steele sent the following message: "Thanks Bill - such a tragic incident and we are all still coming to terms with it. Really appreciate the message from you and the team - Arthur"

16.01.2022 SCENIC MOUNT EVELYN On Sunday 20th December Yarra Valley Veterans Over 60's played Ringwood & Mount District at the scenic and peaceful Mountain Evelyn Recreation Reserve. Final Scores: Yarra Valley 8/165cc v Ringwood & Mounain District 8/130cc Interestingly, there are stories that the US Army built a tunnel for military purposes at Mt. Evelyn during WW2 when there were several US Army camps in the area, including the recreation reserve. It is believed the tunnel may contain military equipment and possibly ammunition etc. Apparently, two school boys found the entrance to the tunnel in the 1970's when it was exposed by erosion caused by a natural spring. The tunnel had apparently been filled in by dumping earth over the entrance. After the discovery, the tunnel was sealed up by the Federal Government.

04.01.2022 Veterans Cricket Australia (VCA) Newsletter: June 9, 2020. Nationals Update. Hello again to all Veterans Cricketers and Supporters.... The Nationals: Your VCA Board had a Teleconference Meeting this morning, where amongst other things, we discussed the current standing of the Veterans Cricket National Championships. The Tasmanian Veterans Cricket 70’s Organising Committee have made the difficult decision to put to the National 70’s Age Committee to recommend to the VCA Board that this years scheduled 70’s Nationals at Launceston be postponed to November 2021. We will monitor the Border Closures and National and State Health Authorities guidelines over the next few weeks in an effort to get some Interstate Tournament on the mainland for the 70’s Age Group before the end of the year. The 50’s and 60’s National Age Group Committees are still keeping our options open on the running of their National Championships for as long as possible. The final decision will also be dependent upon the opening of State borders and Health Authorities. We have to be conscious of the lead time needed for organisation of Championships, but once again we are keen to have Tournaments of some sort played. The Organisers of the 60’s Championships, scheduled for the Sunshine Coast in September, are considering a switch to a date in November/December if required. We will also provide whatever assistance we can to Veterans Women Cricket in their attempts to have their Tournament played in November. As soon as decisions are made on all our Nationals, you will be notified. Thank you for your patience. International Tours: There has been no Official decision on the 60’s World Cup, but with the doubt over the opening of International borders, a postponement until November 2021 seems inevitable. New Zealand are keen for matches in the first few months of 2021 and we will continue to promote those opportunities across the 3 Men’s Age Groups. The 50’s World Cup has been rescheduled for South Africa in March 2022. Andrew Knight and the National 50’s Age Committee are currently working on other International opportunities over the next 12 months. On behalf of Veterans Cricket Australia, keep well, and we look forward to getting back on the field asap. David Head, President. VCA Email: [email protected] www.veteranscricketaustralia.com.au
