As the new (possibly underwater) season is starting to creep towards us, we hope you are all well and have started filling out your availabilities in the Pitchero App between heavy showers.

The club has been busy over the winter with social members regularly warming up the Pavilion for Brentford fixtures, the women’s side leading the way in their local Indoor Softball tournament and winter nets starting up in Latymer School.

We also now have a monthly feature in the Kew Life magazine, copies are in the pavilion if you want to take a look (thanks Lizzie!). If you have any interesting stories from historic Kew matches or players, we are always looking for topics to add and even guest writers if you fancy a go.

We are always looking out for new members - maybe a link to this fantastically written newsletter can be shared with others as the starting point to a chat about Kew?
