” “ “Life Is Not Measured by the Number of Breaths We Take 1 “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” YOU will NOT FIND ANYONE else ANYWHERE “ operating at MY levels of EXPERTISE ” across the UNIQUE range of SKILLS I provide! IT’S ALL ABOUT SUCCESS. I DELIVER. I GUARANTEE RESULTS. HERE are 7 REASONS YOU might choose to CONTACT ME. 1 FITNESS CONSULTANT I have helped thousands of people, between the ages of 6 and 93, and achieve everything from basic fitness to the very highest levels of Personal Trainer sporting specific fitness. These include International Performers from Pages 2—14 well over 20 DIFFERENT sports. 2 REHABILITATION Doctors, Physiotherapists, Practitioners, Osteopaths, Chiropractors have SPECIALIST sent hundreds of people to me with, often very severe, BACK problems, Pages 15—20 as well as those requiring post-operative rehabilitation or, more general remedial work. 3 NATURAL HEALTH My knowledge and practise of "Natural Health" has transformed my life and LIFESTYLE ADVISOR and enabled me to help others do likewise. I provide unusual Page 21—22 insights into health modalities which can provide extraordinary benefits at any age, but particularly as we get older. 4 PERSONAL I have developed a hugely effective inspirational/motivational program DEVELOPMENT GUIDE on goal setting and achievement, harnessing the power of the mind - and "DIRECTED THOUGHT.......CHANNELLED IMAGINATION." This is Beating Bullying indisputably the most IMPORTANT aspect of my work and permeates Pages 23—31 EVERYTHING I DO and BELIEVE in. Effective communication underpins every area in which I operate - speaking, writing, teaching, training. So, given my lifelong love of animals, training horses and dogs is just a natural extension of the very wide ranging work I undertake with people. 5 HORSE TRAINER/ Does your horse have a problem (with you)? Inattention? Respect COMMUNICATOR issues? Non-compliance? Unpredictability? Loading? etc? etc? I get Pages 32—37 astonishing results with horses without fear, force or intimidation. Let me teach you how. 2 6 DOG TRAINER/ Is your dog out of control? Deaf to your commands? Oblivious to your COMMUNICATOR authority? I have rescued and retrained, first Dobermann and Pages 38—45 subsequently Rottweiler, dogs for 35 years. Learn to command attention and respect. Establish boundaries and provide leadership within a loving partnership. 7 WRITER I undertake a full range of WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS - articles, columns, and SPEAKER copy, programs, reports and more. Page 46 I'm available for PERSONAL CONSULTATIONS. I offer SPEAKING SERVICES with a DIFFERENCE, (unique) insights into my range of subjects, for Groups, Clubs, Organisations, Company and Corporate engagements. TEACHER, TRAINER, At 23 I qualified as a teacher, with First Class Honours in Physical MOTIVATOR Education, from Loughborough and that was really the START of my Page 47 CONTINUING EDUCATION. I then lectured at Guildford College for 9 years before setting up my own independent Consultancy. I have worked with, advised, taught, trained, mentored, coached, motivated, inspired and prescribed for thousands of people, from the very young to the positively venerable, from the robust to the severely disabled, the injured, the wounded, including those needing directed support where psychological issues were a consideration. INNOVATOR, I'm an original thinker - creative, innovative and, being inventive, have ORIGINATOR, held patents. I've designed exercise machines with very specific INVENTOR applications. Many of my early theories on health and fitness related Page 48 matters have been vindicated by informed research, up to 30 years after I proposed them - and counting! Brief BIOGRAPHY I study, meditate, exercise, work with people and/or horses and/or dogs Pages 49—51 EVERY DAY passing on life enhancing Knowledge and Skills. And there’s still plenty of time to bungee jump, go wing walking and tree flying, swim amongst rocks in crazy currents and big waves, gallop a horse in dead of night darkness - enjoy excitement, revel in risk, in short, to live a little. I am DISCIPLINED. I am DEDICATED. During the past 30 YEARS I have NOT had 10 DAYS without structured EXERCISE. I persevere, I NEVER GIVE UP on people or projects. I am DETERMINED. I am DIFFERENT. I can HELP YOU. "The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavour" Vince Lombardi “ 3 ” FITN ESS C O NSULTA NT "Train Hard, Fight Easy" Alexander Zuvorov "Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever" Lance Armstrong "If you train hard, you'll not only be hard, you'll be hard to beat" Hershel Walker I am extremely“ serious about fitness. I've dedicated my entire adult life to researching fitness, teaching fitness and testing myself in the most challenging fitness scenarios, where nausea, physical collapse, mental exhaustion and pulse rates in excess of 220 are normal. ” Consequently I have extensive knowledge of fitness and training methods, over 50 years of continuous high- level training and an unusually successful sporting record. With that background I have advised International performers from well over 20 different sports including those who have won English, British, European and World Titles. I have instructed those who train the sportsmen and women. I worked closely with Surrey County Cricket Club for over a decade. I was retained by both the Test and County Cricket Board (TCCB - England) and the Pakistan Cricket Board, for whom I returned fast bowlers Aqib Javed and Waqar Younis to Test Cricket following stress fractures of the spine. Applicable strength is the key factor in my exceptionally productive training routines. Strength is, and has always provided, the base upon which my fitness programmes are built. As an added bonus, strength not only reduces the likelihood of injury during protracted endurance work or speed training, but any injury is generally less serious and recovery is invariably more rapid. My individualistic approach lays emphasis on mobility and flexibility; encompasses endurance and speed, of course; includes, less obvious, peripheral considerations such as agility, balance, coordination. I set great store by the quality, efficiency, grace and harmony of movement encapsulated in the word “athleticism”. I have also long been an advocate of more frequent, shorter, more intense workouts (2-6 a day where appropriate) rather than the traditional, protracted 2-6 sessions per week. I’ve worked with thousands of people from all walks of life between the ages of 8 and 92. My programmes have helped, among other, housewives, business people, sporting superstars, the overweight, the underweight, the injured, the insecure and even those recovering from M.E. Above all, however, I am a teacher and trainer. I seek to excite, enthuse, stimulate, challenge, encourage and am concerned to inspire my charges rather than merely to motivate them. Tim has Been an inspiration to me over the years. The fittest man I have ever met, if not the sanest. Martin Bicknell, Surrey C.C.C and England. Benefit 1997 Having known and worked with Tim over the last 24 years, (my god is it really that long?) I feel I am in quite a good place to pass judgement on one of the most extraordinary men you will ever likely meet. As a 17 year old I was pretty sure I was the Bees knees. Having completed my first year in county cricket and a very successful one, a Bit of winter training was lined up for me. What 2 I didn’t bank on was meeting a guy who would change my life and my approach to professional sport. Right from the off I knew there was no ducking out of the challenge, and a challenge it was, every session was hard, intense and purposeful. Tim got under my skin, instilling in me the work ethic that changed me and made me a successful cricketer, working on my character, testing me in extreme situations, pushing my limits and at all times Believing in me, Believing I had what it took to perform at the highest level. Every session we did I was greeted at the door like a long lost Brother, the most enthusiastic person I have ever met. When I was feeling lethargic Tim would inspire me onto greater things, if I was slacking he would know it and get the Best out of me. There is no douBt in my mind that Tim helped form my character, the work ethic that I still have today came from those early training sessions and I will never forget the punishing sand hill sessions that Tim still thrives on today. And it’s not just me, ask any of the top class sportsmen Tim has trained over the years, we will all say exactly the same thing, he might Be a little crazy But Boy does he know his stuff. Martin Bicknell, Surrey C.C.C and England. March 2011 Tim Laskey “The Guru” Tim Laskey has the ultimate attitude. I am a firm Believer that with attitude you can achieve anything. Attitude is the journey, it is the length of the stride that we take to get to our goal! -Bad attitude equals short stride length. It goes without saying you will Be propelled towards the finish line so much faster if you take long strides. Tim Laskey has the stride length of Usain Bolt! Let me give you some real examples of how training with “The Guru” has helped me change my life. Important as my physical fitness was during my career, it was my attitude and mental application that enaBled me to reach my goals. I was at Best of average aBility when it comes to the sport of cricket, I have no shame in admitting that! But I stand here today a retired man knowing I got every ounce of my aBility out to enaBle me to captain my country.

  • 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.

  • Match-Fixing: a Dead Enemy?
    13 Match-Fixing: A Dead Enemy? G. RAJARAMAN It is one of the greatest tragedies of contemporary cricket that not a few see everything that happens on the cricket field through tinted or tainted glasses. The bogey of match- fixing, which shocked cricket fans out of their skins in the year 2000, has stopped them from enjoying a good game of cricket for what it is. It lurks at the back of the mind when they watch or analyse a game, particularly when it involves India or Pakistan or Sri Lanka or is played on the' subcontinent.l Will the joy of watching cricket ever come back in its unadulterated form? Will the devil be banished from the minds of cricket fans? It is more likely than not that the ugly spectre of match-fixing will continue to hang over cricket, making it tough for cricketers and fans alike to draw pure pleasure. No crisis ever affected cricket as much. Not even 'body-line',2 when England captain Douglas Jardine nearly succeeded in bringing Test cricket with Australia to a grinding halt. Not even the advent of World Series Cricket in Australia in the 1970s.3 Cricket managed to hold its own and, if anything, the fans got to see more cricket. On both occasions, cricket emerged stronger from the experience. Match-fixing has been something else. In the year 2000 the world was bracing itself for the y2k problem that was to bring computers crashing down. The worst fears never came true. Yet y2k was disturbing for cricket fans: it was the year in which the very founda• tions of the game were rocked by the explosion of the match-fixing scandal.

  • AUTUMN 2020 NEWSLETTER of WALES ACO
    AUTUMN 2020 NEWSLETTER of WALES ACO Welcome to the AUTUMN Newsletter from WALES ACO-keeping you informed of developments in the UMPIRING and SCORING World around WALES. 2020 THE SEASON THAT NEARLY WASN’T Well we finally got there after months of fretting that there wouldn’t be any cricket in 2020, in late July we were given the go ahead to start the 2020 season. Full credit must go to CRICKET WALES for their behind the scenes efforts in persuading the politicians that CRICKET was safe to return. We saw a number of protocols put in place e.g. running lanes, hand sanitising and limiting the number of people in the playing “bubble” First out of the blocks were GUERNSEY and former WALES ACO and VALE CRICKET CLUB member CARL BROOKS officiated in the first game. Carl has kindly penned and article for us which you can find later in this NEWSLETTER. We thank Carl and send our best wishes to him and all our friends and colleagues involved in Cricket in Guernsey The Leagues were condensed into smaller groups or “Clusters” to add a competitive edge. The response of scorers and umpires was remarkable with excellent availability. It has to be understood that a few of our members, quite rightly, decided that it wasn’t appropriate for them to officiate and this is fully understood and appreciated, who hope to see them all back fit and well for the 2021 season. One disappointment was that the North Wales League decided not to have appointed Umpires which, although a good number of Umpires found games, didn’t help in the attracting of new Umpires.
