3 “What An Unbelievable Season”

Chairman Nick Wake gives his views on an unbelievable season both on and off the field for the club.

In the last 10 years, 1,500 cricket clubs have closed. and of course…Total Sports Ground Solutions. What’s taken place over the past season is nothing less than a collective riposte : that ain’t happening to us! At my first Management Team meeting as Chairman I set out some principles that I felt were really important What a season: First team comfortably midtable thanks to take the club forward this season. As a marketing not just to great talent, but much improved team spirit. man, I lined up those principles with the letters TPCC. 2nd team… promoted. 3rd team…promoted. 4th team, They were Transparency, Player experience and Cost joint top of their division on points and morally league Control. On the second one, Player experience, I urged winners……and promoted. Ladies cricket, back on the the captains to talk to the players this year and really move again and junior cricket as vibrant as ever, with understand what sort of cricket experience each player one of our under 10s side, winning the county title wanted in 2018. Basically, give them the best possible opportunity to enjoy their cricket – a very simple Success on the field is only possible, because of those theory. My thanks to all the captains - Shelvin, Toby, who work so hard off it. I’ve been incredibly lucky in my Mark and Grouty - for putting it into practice. first year as Chairman to have the most fantastic bunch of people to work with. We don’t call it a committee Our team Captains will be the first to acknowledge the anymore, it’s a management team or as I like to call it great support they have had off the field. Without our the club action team. coaches, scorers, umpires, Doyley and co, and of course, Claddam, there would be no cricket. We’re also blessed to have a great President of the club. Many of you know John Overy very well. For me this Amid the euphoria of success, we should also was a year when I got to know him for the first time. remember those great friends who have retired to the He’s a bit like our guardian angel, there to watch over great pavilion in the sky. Dan Mahoney, John Knox, us, offer up advice and help us out if we get into David Kempster, and Toby Davidson were part of the trouble. This season we stayed out of trouble. essential fabric of this club.

We’re also very lucky to have a number of club sponsors A final thought: adapted from a Margaret Thatcher and partners whose generosity makes it possible for us quote (who’d have thought): “There’s no such thing as to invest in the club on and off the field. Life would be ‘the club’. What we have here is a living tapestry of much more difficult for us, without the likes of Dayla men, women, girls and boys and our success depends Drinks, Tring Park Nursery, Oakman Inns, Tring Brewery, on how much each of us chooses to take responsibility BMW Specialist Cars, Michael Anthony estate agents to make it happen”
