Stoolball news in August 2004

The rules of stoolball have been updated to allow the WAFT ball. A stoolball should now be between 50 and 85 grammes (2 to 2½ ounces) and measure between 175mm and 195 mm.

Previously stoolballs could weigh between 2 to 3 ounces and measure between 175mm and 197mm (7 to 7¾ inches).

Steep Stoolball Club has produced a 2005 calendar to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Relief. It costs just £5, plus 60p for postage and packing.

The calendar is a part of the club’s fund-raising for its Cancer Tournament this year (5 September).
