Building on our excellent track record, WCB is fully committed to delivering the key priorities of “Cricket Unleashed” the England and Wales Cricket Board’s Strategy for cricket in the next few years. At a time when participation in recreational cricket is falling and fewer children are attracted to take up the game, the game needs people with enthusiasm, energy and the will to be successful. That is equally true at school, team, club and, of course, WCB Board level. This pack includes a Role Description for our Non-Executive Directors and details on the work of WCB but do please feel free to ring me (07812 4903440) or the Board Vice Chair Danny Longhorne (07810 773895) if you would like more information. Expressions of interest, which should include a covering letter and CV, should be sent to Angela Durndell, [email protected] by Monday 10th April. We look forward to hearing from you.

Working with key partners and funders such as the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB), Chance to Shine and Warwickshire CCC it seeks ways to raise participation levels in the game for all ages and types of people. The Warwickshire Cricket Board is a Company Limited by Guarantee and all Non-Executive Directors must be a fit and proper person to act as a director of a Company. Roles and Responsibilities To provide strategic direction and leadership for all Board activities To work collaboratively with partners, stakeholders and affiliated clubs and organisations To connect the Board with useful external networks To represent the interests of members and affiliated clubs and organisations To maintain the viability and sustainability of the Company To act in accordance with relevant statutory and legal duties. Desirable Personal Qualities, Skills and Experience Demonstrable Commitment to Board Strategic Objectives Energy and Enthusiasm for Cricket Interest, involvement or experience in recreational sport Ability to communicate effectively Effective Team Player THIS IS AN UNPAID POSITION. Annual report for 2015/16 2016 was a very good year for Warwickshire Cricket Board. We continued to be very well supported by the County Club, the England & Wales Cricket Board and Chance to Shine as our primary funders, but also by the members of the Company and the stakeholders whom we represent and serve. There was consistency and continuity in our staffing arrangements both in terms of the non- executive Directors and the paid employees and thanks are due to the whole team for their continued efforts to serve the game, which often involve long days and busy weekends. Special mention must also be made of the County Welfare Officers, who continue to provide much needed advice and support. Some of the statistical achievements and outcomes of the staff’s efforts for the year were: Increase in overall participation of over 2% Providing some form of cricket to 201 schools in conjunction with Chance to Shine 75 Primary School festivals took place The qualification of 212 new coaches 20 inner city coaching programmes ran 350 + teams played in WCB Club Youth Competitions Unique players captured on play-cricket grew from 12,455 to 12,634 The million pound mark was passed for ECB capital investment in the County since 2009 1,000 Birmingham Bears bat distributed to local children Other highlights of the year included excellent OSCAs and Coach Award events hosted by the County Club, the size and scale of the school and club competitions, consolidation of the new District system, a big year for Coach Education and the on-going community programmes. As we now turn our attention to the 2017 season we are challenged to deliver the ECB’s new Cricket Unleashed Strategy which is basically about growing participation levels from age 5 for life. This is a challenge we are ready for and are passionate about delivering. Whilst all elements of Cricket Unleashed are important to us we are developing our own County Strategy which will also meet the needs of our other funders and stakeholders. We are delighted to be a component of the County Club’s Strategy under the heading of Excellence in Cricket Development. We have seen and understand the local need to grow the female game and this will feature as a key component of our future plans.

    Michael Burrows WHERE the LINE BREAKS where the line breaks_title pages.indd 2 7/10/20 1:10 pm Always the same dream. He’s still on the rock. The sun rising behind the wall of khaki-clad men who advance past him. The countless boots. The endless rifl es held at the same exact angle, tips of the bayonets rolling forward in a wave that extends as far as he can see, until they rise out of the trench, and another line takes their place. Scowling as they peer back at him. Actively running from him, distancing themselves from him as they jump up on the fi re step and clamber up the ladders, climbing up the sandbags, the cli wall, the wooden supports, their heads turned back to him with disgust in their eyes, pitying him, watching him blow his childish whistle before they step up and out into the unknown. And as the fi rst wave vanishes, the next line turns, and the same faces peer back at him, judging him, shaking their heads. And the next line. Shaking their heads. And the next. Each line turns and he sees the faces of the friends he signed up with, the boys he trained beside, the men he joked and drank and swore and dreamed with: Brennan, Stokes, Collopy, Richardson, Morrow, even Tom and Robbie. Sometimes Red. And sometimes Nugget. As they fade, the noise starts, seamlessly merging with the tick of his watch. No change in tempo, no increase in speed. The steady tak tak tak of the machine gun; the relentless, ruthless, repetitive, jarring tak tak tak of mechanical bursts that ring in his head when he lies down to sleep.

Robin Walsh was President from the foundation of the organisation at Stormont in 2007 until he stepped down early in 2013 to take up the Presidency of Cricket Ireland. The CWI are immensely proud that one of our number should be recognised thus and doubly so that Robin filled the role with such dignity and commitment. It turned out to be both a tremendously successful year on the pitch and a historic one off it, and we are fortunate that a man with a trained eye and stylish pen was there to witness it all — and share it with us. Throughout his presidency Robin wrote a regular diary which appeared on the Cricket Ireland website but it clearly deserves a larger audience and a permanent place on the growing shelf of Irish cricketing literature. And that’s why you’re reading this now. ‘Mine’s a Treble’ © Robin Walsh May 2014 Published by the Cricket Writers of Ireland Designed and edited by Ger Siggins Photographs by Barry Chambers.

    SACA NEWSLETTER March 2015 SACA Rugby Evening 2015 On Tuesday 24th March SACA hosted a Rugby Evening in the College. The panel included victorious Ireland coach Les Kiss and try-scorer for the Six Nations winning Ireland Ladies’ team, Tania Rosser with Sunday Times Rugby Correspondent Peter O’Reilly in the chair, whose ability to make sure the event flowed with so many contributors was amazing. It was an incredible night and is the talk of the town’s rugby circles. The school’s Rugby Programme will benefit from ticket sales to the 250 spectators who turned up to be transfixed by the stories from the panellists. Past pupil Peter Bracken spoke on being a professional and what St Andrew’s did for him as a life foundation, Ronnie Dawson told some amusing tales demonstrating the differences between the world of rugby now and in the 1950s, Ben Marshall didn’t appear too fussed about two shoulder reconstructions and a plate in his arm – at 25 years of age!! As well as the incredibly talented panel of internationals and experts we were delighted to host the Six Nations Trophy won by Ireland three days previously. 2 SACA Newsletter March 2015 A Massive Thank You To Our Amazing Panel! list of panelists from right to left, top row to bottom row David McHugh - Ex Leinster Manager and Player Representative (Rob and Dave Kearney, Ian Madigan, Mike Ross and Fergus McFadden) Matt O’Connor - Head Coach Leinster Rugby Peter O’Reilly - Sunday Times Rugby Correspondent Les Kiss - 6 Nations Winning Ireland Coach, Director of Ulster Rugby and Australian Rugby
