GWLCC Records Andrew Burman GWLCC Records Andrew Burman Gentlemen of West London CC 1988-2020 The Gentlemen of West London Cricket Club, founded in 1988 by Mark Ashton, has played 607 games, excluding a 1993 T20 against Enterprise whose multi-coloured scorecard was annoyingly lost. Nor does the Gents’ batting card survive from the second game, against East Harrow Cheetahs in 1988 though strangely the bowling card does. Otherwise records are complete. This publication documents the exceptional: the cover picture shows J. Small (131*) and S. Kumar (74*) being clapped off by St Anne’s Allstars in June 2015 after posting the club’s highest stand of 212 in 22.5 overs, a recovery from the depths of 56-5. Initials of forenames are supplied where available, to distinguish between, for example, the five Joneses, eight Khans, 19 Patels and four Wrights who have played. Victoria RG in Surbiton (133) and Old Tenisonians CC in Motspur Park (87) have hosted more than a third of the games. Most (352) were in the 35-over format. There were 113 played over 40 overs, 70 timed, 43 T20 and 29 in outlier formats (10, 15, 16, 18, 25, 30, 32 and 38 overs). It is curious that in matches played to a conclusion the average runs scored in timed games, 259, was lower than in the 35- and 40-over formats (275 and 317). This might be explained by captains keeping on star bowlers for long spells, on often variable pitches. There have been 392 players (142 debuting in the last decade), of whom 40 played 50 times or more, making 4,523 appearances (68% of the total). Seventeen are members of the 100 Club of whom six played in 2020 including the Top 3, who have 872 caps. Guest appearances remain a source of fascination: 147 played only once of whom 31 did not bat. Nine neither batted nor bowled. Teja busily failed to qualify here – having not batted against Pak in 2019 he took a wicket with his only ball to win the match. Twenty-one singletons were noted in the first decade, 66 in the most recent. When Decade was published in 1997 one could recall every guest but this is no longer possible. Career performances can be found on the website in the GWLCC Career 1988-2020.xlsx file. We list the Top 20 in each category later. Summarised scorecards for each opponent and ground are shown in GWLCC Results 1988- 2018.xlsx and GWLCC Results.pdf for you to search or pivot away to your heart’s content. Some errors may have eluded proofreading. The squad is keen-eyed on such matters, so please let us know if you find any. Trophy timeline 100 Club ( played in 2020) 1992 President’s Cup 1 379 S.

Caveney The President’s Cup (1) was a three-team (two-team in 2000 and 2001) T20 competition held 1992-2001 on the Sunday preceding the August Bank Holiday. The phrase Carnival of Cricket might have been invented for it. Hosts New Barbarian Weasels, the Gents, FC Chad and Urban Associates (once) participated. It was the brainchild of Weasels’ founder W. Flack and predated the first English professional T20 game by 11 years. The Bob Ashton Memorial Cup (2) was contested 1990-2011 between the Gents and West XI and retired when West XI amalgamated with Walthamstow Horizontals to form Judd Street Tigers, rebranded before the 2019 season as Winchmore Hill Tigers. Derby Fever.pdf (see website under The Gent, Reviews and Records) recalls this hard-fought, entertaining series. The Pals League (3) was a three- or four-team league contested 2002-2007. The Gents, New Barbarian Weasels, 12 Angry Men, Urban Associates, Pak and, for one season, West XI participated. The 43-11 Cup against St Anne’s Allstars has never been ratified by the Gents so does not appear above. It was named after their score on a Victoria RG minefield in 2004. Since 2011 it has been friendlies only. Captains 1988-1999 M. Ashton 2012-2013 G. Newcombe 2000-2002 S. Snelling 2014-2015 H. Hibbert 2003-2009 S. Patel 2016-2017 S. Kumar 2010-2011 R.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.

  • Parks Open Spaces Timeline
    Wandsworth Council Parks time line There are many large green open places in south west London. The commons of Barnes, Battersea, Clapham, Putney, Streatham, Tooting, Wandsworth and Wimbledon date from ‘time immemorial’. Though largely comprising the wastes or heathland of a parish, the commons were integral to mediaeval land settlements and were owned by lords of the manors. As London developed during the nineteenth century the land was increasingly developed for housing. Several legal battles took place to defend the commons as open land. Garratt Green had long been ‘defended’ by the infamous Mayors of Garratt elections. Listed below are the green places in the Borough of Wandsworth that are managed by Wandsworth Parks Service. Further historic information can be found in the individual site management plans. 1858 A Royal Commission into housing recommended creating Battersea Park, Kennington Park, and Victoria Park in Hackney with formal and informal gardens as a way offering moral improvement to an area. Health was a matter of fresh air, exercise and diet, rather than one of medical resources. 1885 Battersea Vestry created Christchurch Gardens as ‘an outdoor drawing room’. The shelter and memorial were added after 1945. 1886 Waterman’s Green was created by the Metropolitan Board of Works as part of the approach to the new Putney Bridge when it was rebuilt in stone. It was not publicly accessible. 1888 Battersea Vestry owned the parish wharf and created Vicarage Gardens as a promenade, complete with ornamental urns on plinths along the river wall. During 1990s it was included in flood defence schemes. 1903 Leader’s Gardens and Coronation Gardens were created as public parks by private donation from two wealthy local individuals.

It includes 682 buildings and sites known to be at risk from Tneglect, decay or inappropriate development - everything from an early 18th century church designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor, to a boathouse built during WWI on an island in the Thames. These are sites that need imagination and investment. In London the scale of this challenge has grown. There are 12 more assets on the Heritage at Risk Register this year compared to 2015. We also know that it’s becoming more expensive to repair many of our buildings at risk. In the face of these challenges we’re grateful for the help and support of all those who continue to champion our historic environment.

  • TREC Section 4: Acton Town Station/Gunnersbury Park to Boston Manor Station (Optional Extension to Ealing Broadway)
    TREC Section 4: Acton Town Station/Gunnersbury Park to Boston Manor Station (optional extension to Ealing Broadway). Distance: 8.4 km (5.4 miles). Public Transport: Section 4 starts at Acton Town Underground Station (District and Piccadilly lines), finishing at Boston Manor Underground Station (Piccadilly Line). There is an optional exit en route at Brentford Station or an optional 3.7 km (2.3 miles) extension from Boston Manor to Ealing Broadway Station (using part of the TREC Section 1 route). Surface and Terrain: The first half of the route is along level paths, including through parks: Gunnersbury and Carville Hall Park South; however the section along the Thames Path and the River Brent/Grand Union Canal Walk does involve some steps (an alternative route avoiding the steps is suggested); the route eventually reaches Boston Manor Park and Station. Refreshments: Acton Town Station; Gunnersbury Park Café; Brentford High Street (near Brentford Lock); Boston Manor Park Café (seasonal), Boston Manor Station and shops nearby. Covid-19 restrictions: Check availability of refreshments and toilets before your walk. Public Toilets: Acton Town Station (charge); Gunnersbury Park; Boston Manor Park Café (seasonal). The route starts from south-west Acton, one of the seven towns of the London Borough of Ealing, Acton means "oak farm" or "farm by oak trees". This final section of TREC does stray into the north east of the London Borough of Hounslow going through parts of old Brentford, however as this was historically part of the Parish of Ealing when it did extend to the River Thames we think it’s appropriate to include in TREC.

  • Traffic Noise Maps of Public Parks in Hounslow May 2018
    Traffic noise maps of public parks in Hounslow May 2018 This document shows traffic noise maps for parks in the borough. The noise maps are taken from http://www.extrium.co.uk/noiseviewer.html. Occasionally, google earth or google map images are included to help the reader identify where the park is located. Similar documents are available for all London Boroughs. These were created as part of research into the impact of traffic noise in London’s parks. They should be read in conjunction with the main report and data analysis which are available at http://www.cprelondon.org.uk/resources/item/2390-noiseinparks. The key to the traffic noise maps is shown here to the right. Orange denotes noise of 55 decibels (dB). Louder noises are denoted by reds and blues with dark blue showing the loudest. Where the maps appear with no colour and are just grey, this means there is no traffic noise of 55dB or above. London Borough of Hounslow 1 1. Beaversfield Park 2. Bedfont Lake Country Park 3.

  • The Making of Our Regional Park
    Newsletter June 201 3 The Making of Our Regional Park The Wandle Valley Regional Park is a idea that emerged some years ago from a collaboration between the South London Partnership and the GLA. As a Wandsworth Society member with an interest in the River Wandle, I became involved and was commissioned to write a report designed to get the four riparian councils, Wandsworth, Merton, Sutton and Croydon, working together to make the most of this great and underappreciated asset in our patch of south-west London. Many years down the line I find myself still a WandSoc committee member, but also chair of the Wandle Valley Forum, the umbrella group for about 50 community groups and charities with a keen interest in the river and the string of parks and open spaces through which it f lows all the way from Croydon and Carshalton to the Thames at Wandsworth. There was a danger that such a regional park would never be more than lines on a map and otherwise look the same as it had always done to those walking their dogs or cycling along the Wandle Trail that links most of this chain of open spaces. However, there is now a thorough understanding of the great importance of this remarkable green necklace, which also includes Mitcham Common, Beddington Park and the mysterious ‘Farmlands’ that link the two. In order to raise the profile of the park in the local community it was decided to hold a launch to present some of its frankly astonishing features, and a number of guest speakers have been invited to explain the importance of these community assets and of the development of the park itself, these include representatives from the WVRP, the Heritage Lottery Fund, Merton Priory Trust, as well as Bill Dunster of BedZed and local ornithologist Peter Alfrey.
