Why have Ryman decided to get involved in cricket? Ryman have sponsored the Ryman Football League – the old Isthmian League – for 100,000 years now I think! That has been really successful and I stand to be corrected but I think this has been one of the longest sponsorships in UK Sport. We’ve been very supportive of that League and have done well from it and it’s a natural progression to move into cricket – especially in Surrey and areas of South London which are very much part of our core base geographically. What do Ryman gain from sponsoring the Championship? Well brand awareness is the one that immediately comes to mind but business to business custom is important for us as well. It’s not just a question of us giving money for the sake of it – we expect a little business back! Are the clubs that play in the Surrey Championship a good demographic for you? Absolutely. They’re not a million miles from football clubs in the Ryman League. It’s not just the point of brand awareness though, as I said, they really help drive business to our local shops. How much cricket do you get to see? Sadly I actually get to see very little these days. I do like the game – particularly limited overs. I used to be a great Test Match fan when I was a kid because that’s what my brother and I used to spend our summers doing - fishing and listening to cricket on the radio! Theo was Chairman of Millwall FC for eight years, taking the club out of administration, into the Championship (to the FA Cup Final opposite Manchester United) and into Europe. He’s revived the fortunes of such notable retail brands as La Senza, Contessa Lingerie, Ryman, Partners the Stationers and Stationery Box. He sold his interest in the La Senza UK and Contessa in 2006. In 2008, he combined the stationery businesses to form a new chain, Ryman the Stationer where he is now Chairman. The company sponsors the Isthmian football league, called the Ryman Football League, and our own Surrey Championship. He also owns Red Letter Days with fellow Dragon, Peter Jones, which he salvaged out of administration, and is an investor in Smarta, the business support and advice network for small business owners and entrepreneurs. Theo launched the highly innovative new lingerie and nightwear brand, Boux Avenue in spring 2011. There are 17 UK stores, three international ones and an interactive website (www.bouxavenue.com). The company continues to expand rapidly. In July 2012, the 96-store homewares specialist chain, Robert Dyas joined Theo's retail portfolio. This means that across Ryman, Boux Avenue and Robert Dyas, the combined group comprises 349 stores and 3,600 employees who serve over 28 million customers a year. 3 Section 1 – Important Information 4 Section 1 – Important Information EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 2013 President: Andy Packham John Smith Grey Timbers, 85 Raglan Road Umpires Panel Member: 55 Turney Road, Reigate, Surrey RH2 0ES Jeremy Beckwith, 75 Grove Road, West Dulwich (H) 01737 217372 Sutton, Surrey SM1 2DB London SE21 7JB (H) 020 8643 2090 (H) 020 7733 8828 [email protected] (M) 07771 762452 (M) 07831 638775 Chairman: Crispin Lyden-Cowan [email protected] [email protected] 6 Lion Gate Mews, Other Elected Members: Roland Walton London SW18 5EN John Bramhall West Wing, The Red House, (H) 020 8812 3938 37 West Street, Reigate, RH2 9BL Lower Road, Effingham, (M) 07768 036979 (H) 01737 221813 Surrey KT24 5JP [email protected] (M) 07798 687328 (H) 01372 454979 Secretary: Virginia Edwards (acting) (F) 020 7936 2020 (M) 07836 293171 22 Kingfisher Gardens, [email protected] [email protected] South Croydon, Surrey CR2 8QZ Chris Bullen Co-opted: (H) 020 8651 1087 (League Welfare Officer) Graham Jackson (M) 07778 702056 c/o Purley CC, The Ridge, Purley, 24b Cavendish Road, Sutton, [email protected] Surrey CR8 3PF Surrey SM2 5ER Treasurer: Peter Murphy (M) 07768 558041 (H) 020 8643 0323 38 Rosehill Avenue, Horsell, Woking, [email protected] (M) 07967 901510 Surrey GU21 4SE Chris Evans (H) 01483 832943 33 Sayes Court, Addlestone, [email protected] (M) 07815 816304 Surrey, KT15 1NA Michael Lowe [email protected] (H) 01932 848473 23 Oak Grove, Sunbury on Thames Fixture Secretary: Denham Earl (M) 07801 715905 Middlesex TW16 5BN 33a Smitham Downs Road, Purley, [email protected] (H) 01932 780800 Surrey CR8 4NG Richard Laudy (M) 07710 278344 (H) 020 8660 6621 25 Worple Road, Epsom, [email protected] [email protected] Surrey KT18 5EP Paul Taylor Registration Secretary: (H) 01372 813479 c/o Surrey CCC Virginia Edwards (M) 07767 754476 The Kia Oval, Kennington, 22 Kingfisher Gardens, London SE11 5SS South Croydon, Surrey CR2 8QZ [email protected] (M) 07785 722279 (H) 020 8651 1087 (O) 020 7820 5683 (M) 07778 702056 [email protected] [email protected] SUB-COMMITTEES & SPECIAL RESPONSIBILITIES Disciplinary: Chairman – John Bramhall, Paul Barford, Graham Bullock and Michael Lowe Grounds & Facilities: Chairman - Graham Jackson, Chris Bullen, Denham Earl, & Roland Walton Rules & Playing Conditions: Chairman - Richard Laudy, Jeremy Beckwith, Virginia Edwards & John Smith Sponsorship: Chairman - Crispin Lyden-Cowan, Virginia Edwards, Michael Lowe & Peter Murphy Surrey CCC: Chairman - Crispin Lyden Cowan, Richard Laudy, Paul Taylor & Roland Walton Umpires Panel: See Umpires Panel page 6 for contact details.
