📣 IMPORTANT SAD ANNOUNCEMENT 📣
☕🏏 THE TEA LADIES ARE HANGING UP THEIR APRONS!
After an incredible 16 years, our three legendary 1st XI tea ladies — Fran Hazlewood-Mosby Sarah Gledhill and Emma — are calling time on their tea-making duties. ❤️
Most clubs gave up the proper cricket tea years ago. Sandwiches on a plate, job done. Not at the Bridge. For 16 seasons, Fran, Sarah and Emma have kept the knife-and-fork sit-down tea alive, every Saturday, whatever the scoreline, whatever the weather — a tradition most of the game has quietly let go of.
That’s not just hospitality. That’s three people deciding, week after week, that this club deserved the proper version of things. Their teas have been as much a part of our Saturdays as wickets, boundaries and discussions with the umpire! 😂
So from everyone at Holmbridge Cricket Club — a massive THANK YOU for 16 years of dedication, hard work, and quite frankly, blooming amazing teas. 👏👏👏
You’ve earned your retirement… although we’re not ruling out the odd emergency cake appearance. 🍰😉
Thank you, ladies. The Bridge won’t be the same on a Saturday without you. 💙🏏
This Saturday is their last hurrah, so if you’re about and have ever experienced these three wonderful ladies, please call in and say hello. I’m sure they’ll have a G&T on the go.
