The Tour to Australia (2004)
GBTCC UK Tour (2005)
The Wombats in England (2006)

The GBTCC held a short UK Tour in preparation for next year's trip to Australia where we shall try and retain the David Hookes Memorial Shield which we won from the Aussies in 2006.

Ian Lewis-Jones tragically collapsed and died during our second match at Langport CC. There is a tribute to him on our GBTCC Info page.

We had two 45 / 50 overs matches scheduled in the Bath area, south west of England.
