We are very excited to return for our 22nd Tour to the exciting Chiang Mai Sixes event. The Postels has had big success at this event over the years and always enjoy our time in this lovely city.
Some old faces are back to compliment our brilliant group of Players & Supporters for this year event.Also a special "well done" for this years 30th Tournament Anniversary" of this wonderful event!
Our first tour was 1996, so it is truly lovely to be again returning after 22 yearly tours of the Postels Group to Chiang Mai. We have been lucky enough to have win some of the Groups over the years including the Cup and we are most proud of our efforts.
We look forward to catching up with old friends in Chiang Mai and a great week both on and off the field in lovely Chiang Mai.
Thanks to Dave, Barrie, Taran, Richard and everybody there in Chiang Mai for your efforts.

Brett "BC" Cole
BC has been trying hard to return to Chiang Mai for a number of years and this year being the 30th event made sense for a return. Hails from New Zealand, however has become a most loyal Perth Postels Player. Still plays a good level of cricket at home, so look forward to some enjoyable cricket from him on field. Thanks for providing a team shirt.

Brett "Kanga" Bastow
Kanga has become well known in Chiang Mai for his various awards, especially his great efforts on field. However his "best but" award a few years ago was note-worthy for the ldies of Chiang Mai. Bringing his lovely family along again; lovely Jadie, Andie (she is growing up fast) and the new addition, Baby Harry. Always a brilliant contributer on and off the field is Brett, a credit to the Postels who he has been a part of all his life.

Welcome to Mitch to the Perth Postels Team. He is clearly the youth of the side and will provide some legs on the field, as well with his bowling and batting. He was impressive at his last visit to Chiang Mai and all reports are is that Mitch continues to play some very good cricket back in Melbourne, Australia.

Best known for his Huge Hitting from the event in the late 1990's, esepcially his 8 ball 40 in the Cup Final in 1999. Made a return to Chiang Mai last year and will again be joiining us. Former Player of Tournament, we always enjoy him around the team, especially late at night when a ?Minder" is needed for most of the squad.

A "Tour Virgin" who is looking forward to the experience of touring to Thailand.
