The HK Taveners being fined !
At the end of the final match of The VCC’s Far East Cricket tour in 2008, having beaten Hong Kong Taveners at the famous Hong Kong Cricket Club, the losing side made a generous donation to Townshiphelp by fining their players for poor performance on the field and for just about anything else off it !!
We would like to thank George Lamplough, Captain of the Hong Kong Taveners, for his teams generous efforts in supporting our project by the fines imposed on his players. It was a most sincere gesture of goodwill and one that will be much appreciated by all those who will directly benefit.” …Jonty Savitt

The VCC cricket club also agreed to fine their players and in addition contribute half of their “winnings” during their visit to the Happy Valley race course in Hong Kong during their Far East Cricket Tour. In excess of £600 was rasied and generously offered to Townshiphelp.
Each full member player from The VCC Cricket Club annually donates part of their membership fee towards Townshiphelp.
