Fancy touring the beautiful Indian resort of Goa? Here's your chance
SPCL - 18 June 2002
A letter has been received by League Chairman, Alan Bundy, with reference to a cricket tournament in Goa, India in January/February 2003. If you are interested .... read on.
These are the provisional details for the tournament. It will be played over a period of two weeks at approximately the last week of January and first week of February, to meet with the end of the Ranji Trophy matches.
Three grounds in Goa will be used, all of which have staged first-class matches in the past.
The tournament will comprise of eight teams being divided into two sections of four, which shall consist of a league table basis, with the group winners contesting the Final at the Margoa Cricket Club, the hosts.
It is hoped that many side from all over the world will be participating in this annual festival and teams will play at least four or five games each. Prize money of 1lakh Rs (about £1,500) is on offer.
Accommodation in the area is good and there would be a range of good hotels with a range of price levels, giving each party a good range of choice. Meals and drinks are reasonably priced everywhere. Most if not all teams will be accommodated in the Colva area, this cutting to a minimum the amount of travel involved. It also means fine beaches and fine facilities on those beaches, this in turn meaning that it would be a very good place for a family holiday.
A further possibility would be that, should any participating teams wish to play a game, or possibly even two games, in either Bombay or Bangalore en route either to or from Goa, this could easily be arranged. This would naturally depend upon the amount of time being available to each party. If you were not interested in the Tournament but might be interested in a Tour, it would be possible to arrange very good games in Bombay, Hyderabad, Madras, Bangalore, Kerala or Goa itself.
If you were interested in considering the matter further, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time. I would be h appy to come to meet you, and your colleagues, too, in order to discuss the matter.
