Editor – Chris Evans, Advertising – Denham Earl Published by The Surrey Championship – www.surreychampionship.com Printer: STR Design & Print, Vellum Mill, Mill Lane, Carshalton, Surrey SM5 2JR Tel: 020 8647 9790. www.str.uk.com info@str.uk.com 1 Section 1 – Important Information 2 Section 1 – Important Information SPONSOR’S MESSAGE - Q&A WITH THEO Theo Paphitis answers some questions... 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 andrew.packham1@ntlworld.com (M) 07771 762452 (M) 07831 638775 Chairman: Crispin Lyden-Cowan beckwiths@blueyonder.co.uk john@jgsmith.org.uk 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 crispinlc@btinternet.com (M) 07798 687328 (H) 01372 454979 Secretary: Virginia Edwards (acting) (F) 020 7936 2020 (M) 07836 293171 22 Kingfisher Gardens, jbramhall@dac.co.uk rolandwalton@hotmail.com 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, dels12326@blueyonder.co.uk Surrey CR8 3PF Surrey SM2 5ER Treasurer: Peter Murphy (M) 07768 558041 (H) 020 8643 0323 38 Rosehill Avenue, Horsell, Woking, cbullen@surreycricket.com (M) 07967 901510 Surrey GU21 4SE Chris Evans (H) 01483 832943 33 Sayes Court, Addlestone, grahamroger.jackson@lineone.net (M) 07815 816304 Surrey, KT15 1NA Michael Lowe peter.murphy437@ntlworld.com (H) 01932 848473 23 Oak Grove, Sunbury on Thames Fixture Secretary: Denham Earl (M) 07801 715905 Middlesex TW16 5BN 33a Smitham Downs Road, Purley, chris@cjse.co.uk (H) 01932 780800 Surrey CR8 4NG Richard Laudy (M) 07710 278344 (H) 020 8660 6621 25 Worple Road, Epsom, m.lowe530@btinternet.com dm_laearl@hotmail.com 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 Richard.laudy@pinsentmasons.com (M) 07785 722279 (H) 020 8651 1087 (O) 020 7820 5683 (M) 07778 702056 ptaylor@surreycricket.com dels12326@blueyonder.co.uk 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.

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

  • SURREY CRICKET FOUNDATION 2017 ANNUAL REVIEW Director Of
    SURREY CRICKET FOUNDATION 2017 ANNUAL REVIEW Director of Cricket Participation Paul Taylor looks back on a year of change and great achievement right across the county. 2017 has been another incredibly busy year for the Surrey Cricket Foundation (SCF). In February, the Cricket Participation team restructured giving promotions to four very deserving individuals. Vicki Howard, Gavin Reynolds, Mark Babb and Harry Ellis were all promoted to Cricket Participation Officers with Vicki and Gavin taking on the lead for women & girls cricket and disabilities cricket respectively. Mark took the lead on our vast school competitions programme whilst Harry led on all events held at The Kia Oval. More importantly this gave us more resources in terms of club support. With Kim Price and Chevy Green also being club facing, we now have six members of staff working directly with our clubs, with Simon Hards taking on a coordinating role within club development. They have been ably supported by our community coaches and our administration team and whilst there are always continual challenges for us in terms of priorities, we have enjoyed some incredible successes. Our School’s programme, supported by Chance to Shine, has seen the game introduced to over 23,500 children in 2017. Across the Street projects, we again excelled in terms of delivery and the number of attendees. An achievement that has been highlighted by Chance to Shine across the country. Schools Day this year was held at the Royal London one-day match between Surrey and Kent and we saw just under 5,000 children enjoy the experience at The Kia Oval.

    The Carlton Lockdown Newsletter Till the gates of Grange Loan are open again 26 July 2021 ISSUE 36 Carlton have won the Masterton Trophy, named for legendary Carlton benefactor Margaret Masterton, for the 15th time. They beat Grange in a pulsating final at Grange Loan on Thursday 22 July. Congratulations to Ali and his team!!! Inside - a full report on the ups and downs of the final. Gavin Murray’s photo gallery is on the club website. Also click here for Graham Gaw’s gallery. Ben Davidson and Harris Carnegie started the Grange chase confidently. But the introduction of Angus Beattie in the fourth over put a spanner in their wheel. First ball saw Davidson mistime to be caught at backward point by Ali Shah. Three balls later Gus had a simple c&b to get rid of Farrar. 33-2.

  • Make the Game Safer Or Parents Won't Let Their Children Play It
    10 | SPORT | RUGBY S1 Sunday Independent 6 March 2016 Always check the background The 70 so-called experts lack the qualifications or experience to dictate to us about rugby injuries NEIL FRANCIS HIS one is about failure in the media, more specifically failure to question. I read the financial press every day. On a regular basis TI come across articles where I am told that some Gordon Gekko-type hedge fund principal or financier tells us he is really worried and he thinks sterling will devalue by two or three per cent in the next month. The explanations as to why this will happen are somewhat plausible but please . no panic. There is no byline, no author, and no references — nothing under the piece to suggest any attribution. We have no idea where it came from or who penned it. It just appeared. There is nothing to substantiate it or no counter-argument or editorial to challenge it. So we read it and repeat it to our mates. I see Gordon Gekko says sterling will devalue by two or three per cent in the next month. It then becomes a fact. What is indisputable is that it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The boys have all short positions in place and when the forest fire starts, they collect. A month later we are all blown away. That fella Gordon Gekko is a bloody genius. Put something out there in the newspaper and if nobody checks or challenges it, well then it is a fact. Wednesday evening came slowly and my editor calls.
