We would like to thank Nicky for her dedication, attention to detail and relentless JONATHAN SPELLER effort in ensuring that all junior fixtures and communications were meticulously CRICKET DIRECTOR managed and delivered to our members and staff. Nicky has accepted an exciting : [email protected] position with the Premier League and we wish her every success and happiness in her new role. If changing jobs was not enough, Nicky will be getting married this summer! I speak on behalf of everyone at TWC when I congratulate her and send our fondest love to her on this very special day. As many of you already know, Matthew has accepted the important role as Surrey’s new Junior Performance Coach. Matthew confidently steered TWC’s cricket section with excellence over the past three years, both on and off the field. Matthew has become an integral part of the Wimbledon cloth and leaves behind a legacy that will help shape the future of the junior section for years to come. His impact will be missed off the field but, in fantastic news that I am delighted to confirm, his efforts for the mighty Dons will continue on the field as he returns as a playing member in 2018. A special congratulations to the Travelbag Surrey Championship, in which all our adult league teams compete, as they celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2018.

Bon Anniversaire and may there be many more milestones to celebrate in the future! A last word from me as we head into preparations for a full schedule of cricket across our junior and senior membership. I am looking forward to meeting many of you over the warmer months ahead and want to emphasise that my door is always open – and my
