Time is running out to sign up at discounted prices

Time is running out for new members to sign up to join Somerset County Cricket Club at the discounted rates because as from March 1st the full membership rates will apply.

The office at the County Ground was open yesterday morning to provide the opportunity for those last-minute bargain hunters to sign up to join the Cidermen for 2002 at a reduced price.

Yesterday Lisa and Lucy were in reception to greet visitors and deal with membership applications. At the end of the morning Lisa told me: "Despite the wet and windy weather we had a steady flow of personal callers and telephone applications throughout the three hours that we were open."

Membership figures at the club are at an all-time high for this time of year and it looks as if the Cidermen could be in for a record-breaking season as far as membership is concerned.

Any website readers who want to join up at the discounted rates need to do so by the end of the day on Thursday February 28th, and can do so by clicking on to the membership section listed on the main menu.

It seems that everybody wants to be part of a winning team and join the Somerset players in their quest for even more success in 2002.
