Sunday 4th July, HOWZAT Town Carnival, Loughton Cricket Club, 10am – 10pm,
26th and 27th August, the Clacton Air Show,
The ECB Cricket Factory is coming to Essex and presents a new approach to engaging young people in Cricket (age 4 - adults).
The Tour Rig provides a platform to allow young participants to perform a variety of cricket activities and challenge all the key basic skills: batting, bowling, throwing, catching and cricket related movement.
Supported by local Essex Cricket coaches, the aim is to give all participants a positive and fun experience that will encourage them to take up the sport, and provide them all with information relating to where they can go on to play and watch cricket in the future.
The ECB Cricket Factory Tour is a public demonstration of the new ECB Long Term Athlete Development process giving young people the opportunity to experience the game at the right level for their particular level of skill, providing a positive learning process from the playground to the Test arena.

London 2012 challenges UK to set a new personal best as Open Weekend returns
The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) today announces that the London 2012 Open Weekend, supported by tier one Oil and Gas partner BP, will this year take place on 23rd – 25th July 2010 and lead the nation into the two years to go celebration. Local authorities, sporting and cultural organisations and venues across the UK are invited to register events from today.
Now in its third year, Open Weekend has already enabled over a million people to take part in sport, arts and culture events across the length and breadth of the UK. Open Weekend is part of the Cultural Olympiad and is one of several projects underway as part of the four year programme leading up to the 2012 Games aimed at adding to the excitement of the Games, but also to create a legacy that will include participation after the Games.
2010 will build on previous years, with London 2012 inviting event organisers to set a ‘challenge’ for the public to participate in as part of their offering.
Examples of challenges could be creating a new piece of art in 24 hours, with contributions from the public; hosting a back stage workshop; organising a sporting or cultural themed treasure hunt; opening up space for people to write, produce or perform their own compositions; or organising a mass aerobics session. Creating a challenge will be a key criteria for taking part in the Open Weekend Programme for 2010.
Organisers can register their events from today and find out more about Open Weekend via www.london2012.com/openweekend
Great East Swim - Suffolk 2010
Entries have opened for the 2010 British Gas Great East Swim. The inspiring swim will return to Alton Water, near Ipswich on Saturday 19 June. Enter online at www.greatswim.org.
The inaugural British Gas Great East Swim took place in the summer and was a huge success with just under 1500 swimmers taking the plunge.

In addition to the masses, many of the world’s top swimmers and Olympic heroes battled it out to take the honours in the elite races.
The event is part of the British Gas Great Swim series- four one-mile outdoor swims staged in some of the most stunning locations in the UK.
