“As we once again set out at the start of a brand new cricket season
I am particularly pleased to announce that, despite the difficult
financial circumstances we all face at this time, Meller Braggins
is to continue with its sponsorship of the Meller Braggins Cheshire
Cricket League throughout the 2009 season,” comments Meller
Braggins' Director, Graham Pike.

“Looking back to the 2008 season and the dismal summer we all endured,
with its inevitable impact on the ability of our teams to complete their
fixtures and to play attractive cricket on pitches often adversely effected by
the poor weather conditions, we can only hope for much improved playing
circumstances this year. If the weather does play its part I am confident that
we shall enjoy a season of interesting and exciting cricket ahead.”

“I would also like to think that this might be a season in which we would
attract the new, young players so desperately needed to breathe fresh life
into our national summer game. I am sure that I hear our present players
and their very active support staff echoing this wish!”

“Whatever the challenges we face in the coming months,
I am delighted to join with directors and staff at Meller Braggins
in wishing our clubs a most enjoyable summer of cricket ahead,”
said Graham.

  National Champions:
  Warrington RUFC
  'Under 12s' Team

Warrington RUFC's 'Under 12s' team has scored its biggest victory yet by beating Brighton at Twickenham in the final of the Gullivers Sports Travel Championship.

Sponsored by Meller Braggins and Baker Tilley, the team has enjoyed a superb season, winning a number of local tournaments in addition to the prestigious Lancashire Cup.

Meller Braggins' Managing Director, Nigel Lammas said; “ As co-sponsors of the team it's a real pleasure to learn of the success with which these young players have met. Brighton were able to field four Harlequins Academy players in their team, which highlights the scale of this achievement. We are delighted to have played our part and wish them well as the new season gets under way in the autumn.”

  Mr. James Keeble

As part of its programme of selective expansion, Meller Braggins has opened a new branch at 71B, High Street,Tarporley.

Commenting on the initiative Rodney Jennings said; “Following the successful launch of our Nantwich office in 2005 we have been seeking the right opportunity to consolidate our coverage of south Cheshire. I believe, with the arrival of our superbly located Tarporley office, we will have achieved this goal and gained a wide range of operational options that will bring very visible benefits to vendors and purchasers of property in this attractive area.”

“Given the strength of our operation in north Cheshire and south Manchester, the company is well placed to take advantage of the strong demand for rural properties by purchasers seeking to move out of the larger conurbations. The branch will be managed by James Keeble, who is also in charge of our Nantwich office, with support and back-up from highly experienced personnel, enabling the Nantwich and Tarporley offices to effectively complement one another.”

“We are also especially pleased that the Principal Surveyors from our Northwich based Building Design & Survey Department have strong local connections,” he added.
