Here we are in the second half of May, The Millers season hasn’t had the brightest of starts , our record reading something like:
Lost to weather -3, Lost to Oppo-3, Won-0. An optimist might call these results a “mixed bag” and prior to this winter I always thought I was one of those optimistic types but having spent much of today dodging yet more showers to try and get a home game on, I’m really starting to wonder whether its time to join the glass half empty brigade and when something good happens you can knock me over with a feather ( I am …

JOHN SOMERS
18 March 2024 By
It is with great sadness that we learnt that our stalwart Umpire and one of our “originals” , John Somers, had passed away peacefully. Its not my place to offer an obituary but on behalf of the club I hope I can offer an affectionate reflection on John’s contribution to our little club. As an academic and playwright associated with the University of Exeter, John spent many years enjoying his cricket with their staff “Erratics” team and it was our good fortune that our fledgling club needed an umpire just as his playing career wound down. …

Cricket Club
13 March 2024 By
It seems mighty strange having just walked across a bog purporting to be a cricket field but in theory we should be limbering up for our first game of the season later in April away at Clyst Hydon, not our longest journey but Tale Lane isn’t always the easiest route to traverse!
Our First home game is in the Voneus Village Knock Out Cup, our only attempt at 40 Over cricket this summer, at home to the Cornish giants from Roche. Our approach could be likened to England's less successful attempts at Bazball but on the positive side we have …

I know it really doesn’t seem like it but within two months of you picking up your Parish Paper we should be playing cricket – time will tell !
As of the start of this season the club will have a DEFIBRILLATOR up and running in the toilets beside the pitch . Clearly it makes sense that this should be accessible to local residents in Tale in an emergency and the club will be working towards that . The local charity that we have worked with on this project, JAYS AIM, will be providing a training session one evening in the Spring as part of …

Payhembury tennis club – 2024
24 February 2024 By
We are looking forward to Families and Friends of Payhembury enjoying the use of the tennis court again this year! We are working to keep the court in good usable condition this year, with the aim to build up some funds and potential grants to have the court resurfaced in the future. Having not increased the fees for a number of years, the committee feels we should increase these now to help achieve the above. Annual fees are due in April:
Family
£40
Couple
£30
Single
£20
Junior/Student
£25

Tale Millers Latest – May 2023
22 April 2023 By
The optimism of February, when we were working the fields, led into a wet old march, leaving cricket clubs up and down the country battling the weather to be ready for the start of the cricket season.
Having decided that our home patch should be a field beside a river at the bottom of a valley (I appreciate it's not the biggest valley nor the biggest river) we are even further behind than most. Our ground prep evening was cancelled due to a flooded outfield and our first game at Clyst Hydon has fallen victim to the weather. Apparently you can …

TMCC – Played 21, Won 14, Lost 7
28 September 2022 By
Once again, we have reached the conclusion of a hugely enjoyable summer of cricket and friendship. This year’s end of season celebration took place shortly after the passing of our wonderful Queen and before the cricket a minute’s silence was observed with a Toast to follow; what an extraordinary lady and a fine example of humanity for us to follow.
The Inter Club game that followed was huge fun, with JC and The Sunshine Band overcoming The Southern Cider Drinkers in an exciting 7 a side format, by 64 runs to 60. Highlight of the evening was …
