General business. Jeff Cope SECRETARY ECSCC Annual Report 2013/14 Page 3 MARTIN FLINT (1932 -2013) Patron, President and Life Member One of the main driving forces behind the club’s rise to its now pre-eminent standing in Canterbury cricket, Martin Flint, sadly passed away on October 12 2013 after a long battle with a debilitating illness. Martin Ernest Williams Flint had been associated with the club for over 60 years, starting as a player in 1947 and ending as Patron, an honour he shared with another club stalwart Neil Ockwell. Marty played mostly Second A cricket in his younger days but did manage 57 innings for seniors over 16 seasons starting from 1948 and he was a regular in President's grade for many years before pulling up stumps in 1985. He was a Canterbury Brabin trialist and played for Canterbury B, but his most fulfilling moment was representing a Canterbury XI against an Australian team at Hagley Oval in the 1960s. Marty and Jack Kiddey shared a 70-run partnership to win the game and he recalled how proud he was to be clapped from the field. Although he was a long-serving player for the club, Marty’s legacy to East Christchurch Shirley will remain his outstanding administrative duty, stretching from the lean years when the club was struggling for a home and for playing successes, through to the later years when the trophies began to come our way. Marty was first elected to the committee in 1963/64 and served continuously for the next forty years when he stepped down as President in 2003/04 due to health issues. Needless to say, he promptly agreed to be a Co- Patron when asked. Marty oversaw the building of, or additions to, four clubhouses during his time, with perhaps his contribution to the 1979-80 structure the most laudable. This ambitious project saw the club move from a couple of small changing rooms on Burwood Park to a fine, two-storied structure that served us well for over two decades. This later formed the nucleus of the ECSCC Annual Report 2013/14 Page 4 current club-rooms. Not only did Marty dedicate many, many hours to fund-raising for the original building, but he was also Clerk of Works for the construction. As Trevor Hayes, the then President, recounts in our Centennial publication: “We owe Martin a tremendous vote of thanks for his conscientious effort and for his time expended in overseeing the project and organising voluntary working bees on a regular basis throughout 1980.” The facilities that a number of generations of East’s members have enjoyed over the last four decades are thanks to the tireless efforts of a group of dedicated members, of whom Marty was a key figure. Marty was very much an active club member, who was involved in most aspects of club management. Besides being a long-serving committee member, he was also a CCA delegate and a selector. He was elected to life membership in 1986 – that honour was bestowed to wife Liz 10 years later – and he was a multiple winner of the club's main administrative awards. As President, he didn’t step back from a hands-on involvement in running the club, mixing his formal duties with a continuing watchful eye on club operations, finances and management. As the Centennial report correctly observed: “As well as being President, Martin was manning the bar and welcoming the junior teams that came to the pavilion each Saturday for their award presentations.” One of Marty’s passions was horse-racing and the syndicates he was involved in enjoyed many successes. Maybe some of that luck also rubbed off on the club because during Marty’s time as President from 1998/9-2003/4, the Premier Men’s team enjoyed unprecedented successes. During this six-year period, he presided over three senior two- day trophy wins (including the first in 56 years), three one-day cups and five Hadlee trophies, plus one National Club Cricket Championship title. Again, quoting the Centennial report: “ Marty … was at the helm and happily riding every wave of success as East Christchurch- Shirley really came of age in the first grade in the late 1990’s. Martin was extremely proud and honoured to have presided over this unprecedented period of success.” Marty, the Club was equally proud and honoured – and fortunate - to have had you as a club member, President and Patron for all those years. The East Christchurch-Shirley Cricket Club offers its sincerest condolences to Liz and sons Andrew, Mark and John. Jeff Cope (With thanks to Bob Schumacher for allowing me to borrow and adapt excerpts from his original tribute to Martin which appears on our Website.) ECSCC Annual Report 2013/14 Page 5 COMMITTEE OPERATIONS At the 2013 AGM: John Grocott decided that it was time to hand over the President’s duties and Howard Morel was elected President. John had been President since 2006 – his second stint in office – and, his contribution over these years has been immense. Not only did he fulfil the President’s role but he has also been acting Treasurer for the last few years (and Treasurer for SSCL). Unfortunately for John, there were again no volunteers to take on the Treasurer’s role, and John agreed to continue as acting Treasurer. Thanks John. We would have been lost without you. Due to other commitments, Peter Dow stood down as Vice President and indicated that while he would continue as a member of the Committee, he would no longer continue as chair. He also withdrew as one of the club’s representatives on the SSCL board. Over the years, Peter has devoted a considerable amount of his time to club management, first being elected to the Committee in 1995, and has served as its Chair for the last 15 years. He was a key figure in the development of the new pavilion via our partnership with SRFC, and has served on the board of SSCL since its inception. While his calm guidance as Chairman is missed, we were fortunate to still have his presence on the Committee. There was a “changing of the guard” in the Women’s management positions this year. Hayley Jensen was elected Women’s Club Captain and Steve Graham Women’s Deputy Club Captain, replacing Megan Harkerss and Morna Neilsen respectively. Steve has done a lot of work coaching and promoting women’s cricket in the club over the last few years and it was good to have both him and Hayley on the Committee. Our thanks to Megan and Morna for their valuable contributions over the last few years. Other committee changes were the resignation of Jason Pawson and the election of Richie Papps, Matt Friedwald and Jared Roberts. Besides being a stand–out player on the field, Jason also made a major contribution off the field, having been on the Committee for the last seven years. Our thanks to him, and we wish him well in his new player-coach role at Heathcote.
