Letters of appreciation
Again as I said yesterday, thank you for all your help, support, organisation and warm welcome. Brentwood
Bucks Bronco's team, coaches and parents had a great time. The event was a credit to your club.
Congratulations on winning the Bronco league.
Thanks again
Richard Crabb, Youth Officer Brentwood Baseball Club, Brentwood Baseball Bronco Team Manager
Thank you so much for a super weekend. We all had a great time and your hospitality was wonderful. The
food on Saturday evening was great and we had a lovely evening. The tournament ran very well and you
seemed to take care of everything which allowed us to get on with coaching. Talib and Ian did a great job of
umpiring and Clive coped with my many changes in the Final with good cheer. Please thank everyone who
helped out with organising and doing the dirty work out for us. We all have come away with some wonderful
memories both on and off the field.
Best regards,
Paul Vernon. Bracknell.
Firstly let me congratulate you and your team on putting such a great event over the weekend, I think it was
excellent.
Regards,
Luis Arrevillagas, BSUK, Northwest Development Officer.
I just wanted to say thank you for an excellent weekend - well done to all at Cartmel for making the final four
occasion such an enjoyable one. Commiserations on the final result - we were all rooting for your
goodselves to take the championship - such a shame that the boys all seemed to have an off day nevertheless, it still did not detract from the entertainment and with the weather being so kind, it was a great
weekend for baseball.
Best regards.
Rob Vondy, Halton
Please accept my personal thanks for a fantastic 2 days of sunshine and baseball. I am sure other Halton
coaches will be in touch to express their gratitude for the welcome we received. By being able to take part in
a well run and organised event (even managing to win a game) the players and coaches feel that the season
has ended on such a positive note, that the 2009 season cannot come soon enough. Please pass on my
thanks to all concerned.
Regards
Bryan Hulme, Halton.
Thank you for hosting the event. The players enjoyed themselves. I thought the Final Four was well
organised and was glad to see Cartmel host it. Congratulations to your bronco team they deserved to win!

Colin Walton, Halton Bronco Manager
The dust is settled, the photos online and the admin done! Thank you for inviting us there this weekend, the
people were really nice and the surroundings exquisite...especially when the Priory bells began to ring out on
a sunny Sunday morning...how quintessentially English!
Bye for now
Ian, DE Photos
I would like to echo your sentiments, the umpires did a fabulous job. All the games ran smoothly and most of
them very edge of the seat, which makes it more exciting for the fans. I would also like to thank the
committee at Cartmel who organized a great weekend. I know first hand how much hard work goes into
organizing a tournament. Well worth the 600 mile round trip.
Regards,
Darrin Muller,ABUA-GB Commissioner
Thank you to you and your Club for an absolutely spectacular weekend in one of my favourite areas of the
country. I didn't realise you had the ear of the weather man too, what a fantastic couple of days. I believe I
speak on behalf of my Club when I say you did a great job in hosting the Final 4, with an amazing backdrop,
friendly yet competitive atmosphere, and for us a terrific completion. I look forward to meeting up with you all
again very soon, as you are a credit to your area and the sport. Please pass on my best wishes and thanks
to all of the people involved in last weekend, and we look to next season to renewing battle!
All the best for 2009.
Mark Salter,President - Bracknell Baseball Club
