This summer, something exciting is happening! The Inaugural Masters Cricket Over 70s World Cup is being played in the London area, starting on 28 July.
The teams taking part are Wales, Sri Lanka, India, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and, of course, England.
El Shaddai Charitable Trust UK Limited has the great honour of being chosen as one of two nominated charities being supported by the England Team. The other charity is Prostate Cancer UK, also a very worthwhile cause
Our one and only John Turton is very much involved and has had the fantastic privilege of being selected to be part of the England Squad! He will also be there as an El Shaddai Trustee and Volunteer too. We’re all very excited and wish him the very best of luck!
Most games are being played west of London, with the final taking place at the stunning Wormsley Cricket Ground on Sunday 11 August at 11am. This is at the home of John Paul Getty Jr, near Stokenchurch. To see the ground, please check out Wormsley.com/cricket, it’s very impressive.
Why not join us at our table in the thatched roof pavilion, hosted by Sanjiv Shah, UK Trustees Chair and MCC Member. Enjoy a top notch light lunch, brass music and after-match buffet with a jazz band. Tickets are £100 per seat, with all profits going to El Shaddai Charitable Trust. Contact John Turton before 28 June at johnturton@childrescue.net for further information and to book your place.
Please come and join us if you’re able to. Entrance to all the games (and parking) is free! At most games there will be an El Shaddai volunteer talking with spectators about the fantastic work that El Shaddai Charitable Trust does out in India and we hope that many of you will be able to come along and support us at one of the games taking place.
If any of our lovely supporters and donors would like to get more involved and help us out on one of the days by handing out leaflets, and perhaps talking to a few people about how you came to know about and support El Shaddai, then you would be more than welcome to join us in raising awareness and highlighting the work that we do. Just contact the UK Office to let us know.
See you there!
