PCG News Notes

Welcome to what we plan to be a regular and ongoing effort to inform all PCG Members of the goings on and events relating to the game of Cricket in Phuket.  Our last notes document was emailed out last December and due to internal conflicts we have not been able to communicate effectively until now.

Following are quick notes of interest:
