Obituary

C.F. (Charlie) Collins

It was with great sadness that we learnt of the death of Charlie Collins, who died on Monday, July 26, 2010 in Christchurch after a short illness. At the age of 96, he was our oldest living member and was last seen at the club when he had the honour of opening the 2006/07 season.

Charlie joined the club in November 1937, coming straight from Christchurch Boys High School and was a hard-working, bustling, medium-pace stock bowler. He played mainly in the club’s second and third XIs, taking many with a best of 6-32 in the old Second A grade. Charlie was also known as a busy person around the club, taking on and organising many fundraisers, working bees and social functions.

However, it was on the administrative side of cricket that Charlie made his real mark, leaving an outstanding legacy when he retired. He was club secretary for seven seasons between 1946 and 1953. He also served a two-year term as the president of the club between 1961 and 1963. Following this term he was honoured with life membership at the club’s annual general meeting in 1963. According to mates from the same era, Charlie was a loyal and staunch “one club man”.

Charlie also held a number of administrative posts at higher levels, including acting as the chairman of the Canterbury Cricket Association between 1955 and 1959 and as the CCA’s president between 1971 and 1973. He was also honoured with life membership of the CCA and for his outstanding service to cricket.

To cap off a distinguished career, Charlie was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1983 for services to cricket.

A private family service was held in accordance with Charlie’s wishes. Charlie is survived by his wife Dulcie and two sons.

Postscript: the honour of being the club’s oldest-known living member now belongs to Ray McLauchlan. At 92 (and a half) Ray now carries the flag for all the older gentlemen in the club. 6

President’s Report

On behalf of the Executive and Committee, I have much pleasure in presenting the Annual Report and Accounts covering the 2010/11 season, the 106th in the club’s history.

How can one adequately compile a report that covered such a traumatic, devastating and deadly summer and give it full justice? With great difficulty. Hence this season summary is different in format and approach to previous such reports, as I often make reference to the events relating to the two major earthquakes and the ongoing rebuilding effort. Yes, the 2010/11 season was truly life-changing, with over 180 deaths and major property and infrastructure damage - not just to the CBD, which was almost obliterated as we knew and had grown up with, but also to the many thousands of homes in the city and suburbs.

The club held its customary Annual General Meeting in early August, with most positions being filled by returning committee members. The exception was that of the women’s club captain’s position, which remained vacant at the time. A successful season with several grade wins, a strong social scene and a healthy financial position was in prospect. However, five weeks later, on September 4, the city was struck by a massive earthquake measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale and centred about 10km under Darfield. This rocked the city and surrounding areas, causing considerable damage to the CBD, homes, roading, power, water and sewerage systems. Buildings were weakened and people were spooked but, fortunately, the 4.30am shake caused no direct fatalities. The many aftershocks that followed constantly reminded us that we might not have felt the last of Mother Nature’s grumpy persona.

The season still managed to get underway on time, with only minimal alteration to the draws and ground allocations required. The club entered eight adult men’s sides, three adult women’s sides and one junior girls team. This was later amended when our women’s Twenty20 side withdrew after a few weeks due to lack of numbers. We did, however, welcome a new men’s team to the club. It was their wish to play in the new men’s Twenty20 grade, one that they found very challenging.

The season was progressing well, with the Premier men’s side winning the Twenty20 tournament played over the long Show Weekend break. Congratulations to Aaron Johnstone and his side, who went through

7 their three round-robin games unbeaten and then won the final against Old Boys Collegians. Other sides in the club were figuring strongly and, as the mid-season break approached, teams were in a buoyant mood and several grade wins looked in prospect.

The Christmas/New Year break came and went, with teams generally performing well one week and then not so good the next. Despite this an above-average season was developing, with maybe three more grade wins in the offing. However, as we all know, at 12.51pm on February 22 a powerful and most deadly earthquake hit the city. It registered at 6.3 on the Richter scale and although a lesser magnitude than the original quake the epicentre was extremely close to the city and was only 5km in depth.

The city was devastated as liquefaction left masses of silt everywhere; roads concertinaed; cliffs in the hillside suburbs crumbled to the ground, with the rest becoming unstable; boulders tumbled into homes; rivers searched for new ways to flow; and buildings toppled, leaving the CBD looking like a scene straight out of war-torn Bosnia. It was utterly unbelievable and, as I write this report, over 3000 aftershocks have rattled the city, of which 10 have been over 5 on the Richter scale. The latest major scare being caused by twin jolts on June 13, which measured 5.6 and 6.3. Fortunately, no further deaths have occurred and those buildings that were already ear-marked for demolition because of the earlier shakes have had a little more help from the earth’s natural geophysics.

For days and weeks afterwards we watched and waited as search and rescue teams from within New Zealand and all around the world worked their way through the worst-affected buildings to rescue those who were trapped. However, the mortality figure kept rising and a large list of names of those who had perished was confirmed and posted. Most people knew of someone or their family who were affected by the death of a loved one. As a cricket club we were holding out hope that the wife of former member (and now promising umpire) Richard Hooper, Amanda, would be found alive. But, tragically, she was not. Our sympathies go to Richie and his two young daughters.

I should also make mention that our club did have about half a dozen members affected by major property damage. In some cases members have left the city to live permanently elsewhere, while others did initially move away but have now relocated back to the city. Others have simply been forced to find new living arrangements. All in all it was a dramatic and sad early end to the season.

8

Although our cricket pavilion and grounds at Hagley Park were, in the main, unaffected, it was decided by all the clubs, the CCA and other stakeholders to cancel the season with five weeks remaining.

There was an argument put up that clubs - in particular their junior sections - should try and play some non-competition games as a way of bringing some relief and a semblance of normality back to the sport. This was taken up by some clubs and helped give parents and others the chance to divert attention from their own personally upsetting circumstances.

The CCA decision resulted in all teams being given the placings where they currently stood on their grade ladders immediately after the earthquake. Fortunately for us, the 3A men’s team were in pole position at the time and congratulations must go to Tony Falloon, Scott Mason and the lads from the BBBBs for bringing further success to St Albans. No other club teams were leading their grades, but a couple were only very narrowly behind in second place and could be considered somewhat unlucky. A couple more were in third place and were similarly unfortunate. Overall, it could be said that we had an indifferent season, particularly on the men’s side. Given the circumstances, however, this was very understandable. The old adage that it is always better to be leading than to come home with a wet sail could not have been better illustrated.

The women’s side of the club had an even more challenging summer, one which was full of major contrasts. Firstly, congratulations go to , Kelly Anderson, and Janet Brehaut, who were selected in the New Zealand team. The White Ferns hosted Australia during the summer then went on a winter tour to Australia and the UK. Our congratulations also go to Meg Kendal and Amber Boyce for being selected (along with the others) in the Stephen Cunis- coached team that won both of the women’s provincial competitions this summer.

However, on the club front, in spite of having these elite players, we struggled to get enough players of requisite standard to be able to consistently field a full, competitive Premier team each Saturday. With the club not having a second XI in the Division 1 grade we just didn’t have the reservoir of talent to draw replacements from, particularly when our representative players were away. We do thank the many fill -ins that helped out as without their assistance the situation would’ve been even worse. This lack of numbers impacted on the results and their final position on the table.

9

This situation needs to be seriously addressed and become our number one task for the women’s side of the club before next summer. We need to recruit extra players so as to have a quality roster at Premier level, while also having enough girls to play at Division 1 level. Those on the rung below must be capable of playing quality cricket and have the desire to improve and seek promotion. This in turn will put pressure on the current group in Premiers and enlarge our pool of competitive top-level players. Furthermore, we need to find a motivated and energetic women’s club captain if we are to return to the halcyon days of the past. Positive moves are being made to find a suitable person to fill this position as I write this report.

As has been customary we once again welcomed a group of amateur players from the UK. Tom Robertson, Lloyd Richardson and William Axup came to us via the Sport Lived programme. Simon George and Greg Wadsworth travelled as individuals for a southern hemisphere cricketing holiday, coming to Saints thanks to connections that they had with current or former club members. We were also fortunate to be able to secure the services of Ben Raine, a CCA exchange player from the county of Durham. I know all six players thoroughly enjoyed themselves at the club, with Greg Wadsworth even picking up the 2010/11 club player of the year award. Congratulations, Greg. We thank the boys for their efforts during the summer and ask that you be our missionaries over in the UK, should you hear of anyone wishing to either emigrate or come down under for a season.

At the end of the summer we farewelled Stephen Cunis, who had been with the club for the last 13 years either as a player, player/coach or solely as the Premier coach. Stephen came to the club as a 20-year- old from the Northern Districts area and in his time with us forged an outstanding playing career, not just with St Albans but also with the Canterbury Wizards. Indeed, if we were to select our best team of the last 105 years Cuni would go mighty close to making it into the final XI. That would make him the only non-New Zealand representative to be a part of that select bunch, such is the impact he made within the club. His socialisation of those in the top three men’s teams of the club has become legendary. Woe betide those who failed to fall in line.

Thank you, Cuni, for all you did in the club. For those that were not at the club prize-giving night, you missed the presentation that was made to Stephen. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Stephen’s wife, Kara, for all her help as a support person to Cuni and her contributions as a player and club secretary. Awesome. The Cunis family have moved back to Whangarei as the two earthquakes just got

10 the better of them after their home was hit hard not once, but twice. We can all understand. Good luck for your future cricketing endeavours.

At the beginning of last season it also became clear that would not be playing any more cricket. With her entry into the police service I guess it just became too hard to juggle things. With her appointments to various non-cricketing areas it simply wasn’t conducive to her continuing on. She is now working in the Auckland Police district.

Sarah joined the club from the Sydenham junior section in the mid- 1990s in an effort to improve her cricket and play Premier women’s cricket. It was obvious to experienced cricket scouts that Sarah, as a junior player, had all the necessary attributes to go far. As well as appearing 109 times for Canterbury and 44 for New Zealand she played 155 games for St Albans, making her the 11th most capped women’s player in the club’s history. As an opening right-arm medium- fast bowler she took 249 wickets at an average of 14.42 with a best of 6-18, placing her sixth-equal on the all-time -takers list. Sarah was no bunny with the bat either, as 1880 runs at 16.49 and a highest score of 108 would attest.

Sarah was a great club member with an infectious laugh and an adventurous and sometimes zany streak. Sarah’s attitude and willingness to help coach and take under her wing girls with less ability is already missed. Good luck in your future endeavours, Burkey. You are always welcome back to the pavilion if you’re ever visiting during the summertime.

At the end of the season just finished Amber Boyce announced her retirement from all cricket. Amber joined the club at the beginning of the 2007/08 season and quickly became a very good Premier all- rounder. With 871 runs (including a dashing of 145 at the beginning of this season) at an average of 28.10 and 42 wickets at 21.19, Amber’s abilities will be missed. She also played 43 games for the Canterbury Magicians. Thank you for making the trek up from Timaru each Saturday, Amber. We appreciate the effort. Hopefully you will be able to scout us a couple of Premier-level girls from the South Canterbury area.

With the season finishing five weeks earlier than planned the annual Saints and CCA prize-giving functions were justifiably low-key affairs.

11

We had about 70 people attend our club prize-giving night held at Robbies Riccarton. We would again like to thank Lee Germon for being our guest speaker and awards presenter. Greg Wadsworth, from our 2A men’s side, won the coveted St Albans club player of the year award. Greg also picked up the trophy for club personality of the year. Matt Sutherland was presented with the Peers Cup, which was a fitting tribute to the work that Matt does on and off the field. Matt often operates well behind the scenes and his ability to make us (or save us) money is also very much appreciated. The infamous Rod McCurdy award went to Andy Murray for the wide-eyed exuberance exhibited in his unique approach to the game. Finally, Michelle Price was awarded the club supporter of the year award for her support of husband Jonnie and his President’s grade side, both at games and after-match functions.

Our club didn’t collect as many gongs as we typically do at the CCA awards function this year. However, congratulations must go to Amy Satterthwaite who did win the overall club and representative women’s player of the year awards. The list of winners from our club prize- giving night as well as Saints winners at the CCA evening can be found later on this annual report.

In spite of the initial earthquake and subsequent aftershocks the club did try to carry on in a relatively normal fashion. We hosted the regular pre-season match against the Hutt District side, but the Embers trophy was not able to be prised away from the visitors after a close defeat.

Kevin Snook once again ran the popular Tuesday twilight cricket competition. This season the club had two sides entered, with both finishing mid-table. The second quake in February put paid to any finals matches, with teams being placed where they were when the competition was abandoned.

The club enjoyed a very vibrant Christmas function ... certainly if the mess left by the revellers, which was found in the pavilion the following day, was anything to go by. Thanks to the overseas players who organised the event. However, other social functions that are normally scheduled towards the end of the season - such as the bowl- off, race day and quiz evening - were shelved.

As club members will know, the CCA has a long list of criteria that a club has to “tick off” and undertake in order to be granted Premier men’s status. With this comes supplementary funding from the model

12 that was introduced at the beginning of the summer. Previously this funding had been used by the CCA to employ three people with a support budget but the club chairmen felt that the returns were not great enough. Thus they presented to the CCA board a paper outlining a way in which clubs would receive better value for money if they were given the funding directly. To the credit of the CCA board they embraced the new ideas and, as such, we now get a grant to do much of the same work, but with a key directional change: we have control.

One part of the long list of criteria is the need for metropolitan clubs to have a minimum of four junior teams each season. At the start of the season in October we only had one side. Hence we needed to look creatively at ways to fulfil our obligation. We were given to February 14 to sort this challenge out. Work started straight away on trying to develop a working relationship with the Cathedral Grammar school and, after several meetings (and two steps forward and one step back), we signed off on an arrangement which was win-win for both club and school across a number of areas. This was endorsed by the CCA and we were out of the woods. The school has a natural fit with the club and this relationship will need to be nurtured and built upon, as it is a good one which will stand the club in good stead in years to come. We thank headmaster Owen Arnst, bursar Geoff Cain and teacher in charge of cricket Kirsty Bond for their help in making this happen.

With the devastation caused by the earthquakes and the necessary rebuilding of the city, the subject of the redevelopment of Hagley Oval as a Test and provincial ground has been put on indefinite hold. The original plans (that I commented on in last season’s annual report) have had several changes made to them over the last 12 months and now hopefully they are sitting on a dusty shelf or in a forgotten drawer somewhere. I guess that the motivation, funding and timing is not right and would draw universal criticism if they were to go ahead with the development, particularly in the current environment. A number of major sporting facilities, which are either due for demolition or are simply in a poor state, will require many millions of dollars to repair or rebuild. Therefore, it is best to wait and see what might come from all the city-wide talks and meetings as to the best idea for the city’s new sporting infrastructure, whether they be stand-alone or in some sort of complementary grouping.

With the CBD having been so severely wiped out and currently still a “no-go” red zone, there have been many instances of sporting facilities being rented by affected inner-city businesses. We have joined those

13 that have offered space and, consequently, The Star newspaper have become tenants of our pavilion. They have also rented the neighbouring Canterbury umpires’ and Old Boys pavilions. This has helped our finances considerably, though the wear and tear is starting to become noticeable. It is expected that The Star will be in new premises in time for us to be back in our own pavilion for the start of the 2011/12 season.

The committee that was elected at the AGM has had some changes during the course of the season. Firstly, when it became apparent that no-one was going to step into the vacant women’s club captain’s position the committee asked me to assume the role.

Just prior to Christmas, Ben Brady relinquished his place on the committee and this was taken by Peter Mayell. After the Christmas break, Hayden and Trudy Pipe resigned to go on an extended overseas sabbatical. To help fill the breach Murray Griffin was approached and he agreed to return to the committee after a break of some years, having returned to Christchurch after working in Sydney.

At this time Matt Sutherland also kindly offered to “hold the fort” with regard the bar manager’s position, which Hayden had also vacated. These were seamless changes and the 20-plus years of management experience added to the committee was welcomed.

At all times the committee has worked hard to keep the club on an even keel by balancing revenue and spending, with Lindsay Serra being the adroit and conservative financial helmsman. A small surplus has been shown, which is a good result under the circumstances. My thanks go to the executive of the club who were called to make or support strategic decisions on several occasions.

Of the current committee only Jarrod Stewart has advised that he will be not seeking re-election at the AGM on the second Monday in August. Although only a one-year committee member, Jarrod has taken big steps after a slow start and has turned out to be what I had hoped when he came on board. Thanks for your efforts, Jarrod. Hopefully we will see you around from time to time.

Not counting the extra meeting which the CCA board asked us to convene (to talk about such things as the Hagley Oval ground development and the club fulfilling its Premier status criteria), we had 11 committee meetings during the season. The eleventh meeting (to be held in late July) is also not counted in the following numbers.

The attendance figures have been: Meetings Years

I would like to also take this opportunity to thank a number of people who have contributed to the success of the club during the last 12 months. Firstly, thanks to Lee Germon, Mike Fisher, Mike Harvey and all the staff at the CCA for your support, wisdom and guidance. Tom O’Carroll, our groundsman, has also been a pillar of strength and has mostly gone along with our views and assisted on tricky issues when asked. Barry van Beurten has come on board in a variety of areas, most noticeably in the secondary/youth girls section. His “outside the square” thinking and new ideas have and will take us to places that others have failed to go to. We acknowledge your enthusiasm and motivation to help get the girls side of the club back to the strength it once was. To those of you that coached, scored, did bar work, helped with nets, transport and catering: we thank you for your efforts.

To the charitable trusts go our thanks, although returns and grants from them have slipped considerably from those of three or four years ago. We hope that the renewed vigour that we will raise in the next few weeks will help keep the club finances in the black - even given the prospect of signing an overseas player/coach for the coming season, which is always an expensive project.

15

Finally, we come to next summer ... with hopefully little further earth movement. There are bound to be some creative ways in which all the grades are accommodated, as a number of parks and pitches already signalled as being unavailable. The major concern is with player numbers. It is hoped that our club will have enough players to field at least the same number of teams as last summer. We already know of 10 players in the top three men’s sides who have shifted away or likely will be unavailable for next summer. We will need to recruit like there is no tomorrow, particularly in the adult women’s teams where we need 18 new players to fill spots in the Premiers and Division 1. Hopefully some innovative ideas will help us achieve this target.

Our finances will need a firm hand on the tiller. Revenue and funding will need to be taken to another level and we will need to maximise all possible opportunities relating to this. The committee, which will be elected at the AGM in two weeks’ time, will need to be even more enthusiastic, available and energetic. We will also need to get the mighty Saints ‘social train’ back on the tracks. A new caterer will need to be found, as Ann Bergman has moved from the city as a result of the earthquakes. New men’s and women’s club captains will need to be identified. A new bar manager will need to be found, certified with a license and then trained up in the ways and needs of the club. A new coach of the top three men’s teams will need to be signed. But, above all else, we will need to recruit, recruit, recruit. Playing members are the lifeblood of the club, not bricks and mortar.

We have had an incredibly successful club over the last few seasons. If we have a positive attitude we will climb out of the trough we are in. It’s how well you do in the troughs that determines how easily you can climb back to the peak. St Albans and success have walked hand in hand over the last 25 years - let’s quickly get back to this romantic notion. We have had several ups and downs over the last half and we have always managed to bounce back from the bad times stronger and more successful than before. With your help - and guidance from an experienced committee - we will do this once again. The game of cricket is well entrenched in the city and most other clubs are worse off than us. Let us once again be leaders. The mighty, Saintly, rampant Lions will once again be kings of a devastated city.

I look forward to renewing acquaintances again - either at the AGM in a fortnight, at pre-season training or on opening day in late September. Until then, winter well my friends.

Men’s Club Captain’s Report

After a long and fruitless winter search for a men’s club captain we discovered how George Bush must have felt looking for Osama bin Laden all those years! With no-one attracted to the position it was covered in no small part by the efforts of Alan Jamieson and Duane Pettet ... while I hung on to their coat-tails for dear life.

After claiming only one men’s grade title the previous season there were large expectations of returning to the winners’ circle in greater numbers. We wanted to rekindle the success achieved in the record- breaking 2008/09 season, when the men’s section was responsible for as many as six pieces of silverware in the trophy cabinet.

The season got off to a shaky start with a magnitude 7.1 earthquake waking the city in the early hours of September 4. No-one was 100 percent sure how it would affect all of the clubs or even if the season would begin on time. However, the season kicked off as scheduled on October 2, with only minor disruptions for a couple of grades.

St Albans entered eight men’s sides across a variety of CCA competitions. The only change amongst these was the loss of the 3C grade team from the previous season, countered by the introduction of a new group of club members into a side playing in the inaugural Cavaliers Twenty20 competition.

Although the on-field results were somewhat mixed for most teams, St Albans continued to be a club where the pavilion after-match functions remained jovial and in good spirits. 4As skipper Dan Stribling led the way on that front with a couple of sterling ‘team talk’ speeches.

A number of teams were poised to make a for titles as the end of the season neared, but the thought of continuing to play cricket paled into insignificance once the full effects of the February 22 catastrophe had been felt by the city.

It was therefore no surprise that a unanimous decision was reached by the CCA and all affiliated clubs to call the season off shortly thereafter. This allowed people to reflect on what they had just experienced, mourn those lost in the tragedy and deal to property damage.

The Premier men won the Twenty20 competition in commanding fashion, going through the tournament unbeaten. Sadly, their chances of performing only the second back-to-back-to-back championship

17 runs by the club in the two-day competition were quashed by the untimely February quake. Their challenge in the one-day competition never really got out of first gear.

The 2A men will rue a poor afternoon’s play on what turned out to be the last day of the season. They had been leading the two-dayers by a sliver going into the round but Riccarton pipped them at the post. Similarly they let a gilt-edged opportunity slip through their fingers on the final day of the Twenty20 competition, again having to settle for second. Ironically, despite winning just two of six one-dayers, they only missed out on the semi-finals after a net run rate count-back.

The 2B men were under-resourced and it showed for the most part. A forgettable one-day competition was however followed up by some encouraging fight in the , getting themselves into a ‘final showdown’ scenario but unable to finish off the job. They gradually improved as they progressed in the two-dayers, finishing mid-table.

The 3A men (the ‘BBBBs’) were once again the trailblazers for consistency and success in the club. Just two losses in 17 matches paved the way to championship glory by a margin of three clear wins. Commanding in anybody’s language.

The 4As and 4Bs swapped grades from last season, with the promoted team led ably by Dan Stribling and finished in the top half of the table thanks to a series of good results in the New Year. The 4Bs featured a number of new players to the club and enjoyed an up-and-down season, ending up in the middle of the pack.

The President’s grade team started slowly but consistently climbed the table throughout the season, ending up the top half. They took a couple of notable scalps along the way, effectively preventing two other clubs from winning the grade (either jointly or outright).

The newly formed Cavaliers Twenty20 team struggled for numbers and competitiveness early on. Though they failed to win a game, often outmatched by teams with vastly greater experience, they grew in confidence game by game and were halted at an inopportune time.

New Members

To replace those members who had intimated during August and September that they wouldn’t be playing this season, we welcomed a large group of new guys to the club.

18

A significant number also arrived during the summer, either on work or University transfers into the city, or came at the behest of friends. Many came on board as fill-ins and enjoyed their time enough that they ended up signing up full-time. These players include:

William Axup William Mills Tom Robertson Mark Barron Craig Moore Grant Ross Craig Coffey Andy Murray Jamie Schwass Matt Doolan Duncan Noble Ross Shapley Regan Fielding Anthony O’Connor Patrick Sullivan Simon George Ben Raine Chris Taylor Clem Gibbens Richard Reed Mark van Groenedaal Matthew Hall James Richards Perry Vogel Nick Horwood Lloyd Richardson Greg Wadsworth Phil Hurrell Jared Roberts Kade Wallis Tristram Jesson-Moore Michael Robertshaw

Members Who Have Left

Each year the club says goodbye to a significant number of members from the men’s side of the club. There are many reasons: job transfers, overseas travel, completion of University studies, the odd disenchantment or being poached by other clubs. It is a fact of life as members become more mobile in their personal situations. The September quake also had an influence on a couple of our members.

Many do return after a season or two away, as you can take the man out of St Albans but you can’t take St Albans out of the man. We thank those that grace the list below and hope that some time in the future we will welcome you back into the Lion’s den.

Though many, those who left were more than compensated by the number of new members who signed up. Those to disappear include:

Michael Adams (returned to the UK) Nigel Bennett (travelled back to the old country for more experience) Dean Bermingham (secured a job in Westport) Scott Bermingham (decided to stay playing for Akaroa) Mark Bolderson (long-term injury) Ben Burrough (moved to Melbourne) Andrew Button (lost interest) Sam Cassidy (returned to Ireland) Mark Child (finished University, in North Island job hunting) Bala Cole (completed University and moved home to secure work) Robbie Currie (didn’t turn up for registration) Ben Darch (club made other arrangements for Ben)

19

Elliot Dunn (gap year in the UK) Nick Gallagher (took season off due to injury) Matt Grenfell (transferred to the Southern Districts club) Tom Gudsell (studying at University in Dunedin) (took up an overseas job in Zimbabwe) Tim Holton (made partner of the law company he works for, dog walking) Tom Hughes (returned to the UK) Rakesh Jaiswal (didn’t turn up for registration) Lance Jessup (moved to the USA for work) Andrew Lawton (a Sport Lived seasonal amateur, returned to the UK) Ian Leach (returned to the UK) Chris Martin (returned to live in Auckland) Danny McCarthy (moved to Australia to live and work) Chris McGahan (transferred to the Southern Districts club) Ollie McKenna (working, lost interest) Rowan Muller (weekends busy, no time for cricket at present) Dave Perry (retired) Brett Saunders (family and work) Allan Scott (only able to play twilight on Tuesdays instead) Kelvin Scott (transferred to the Old Boys Collegians club) Barry Slater (retired due to persistent injury problems) Rob Sparks (returned to the UK) James Spray (transferred back to the Lancaster Park Woolston club) Nathan Tikao (coaching and following son’s Sydenham team) Dale van Grunsven (lost interest) Josh van Vianen (disappeared off the face of the world) Ashit Vekaria (working on Saturdays) Daniel Vernon (a Sport Lived seasonal amateur, returned to the UK) Cameron Ward (studying at University in the USA) Rob White (season professional, not re-signed/unavailable)

Representative Players

With Chris Martin returning to Auckland and Chris Harris moving to play and coach in Zimbabwe, this was the first season since 1985/86 that St Albans didn’t have a Canterbury representative. We did however have a first-class player in Michael Parlane, making club appearances in between his provincial commitments up north.

Congratulations to the following players who were selected in CCA representative sides:

Northern Districts: Michael Parlane Canterbury U23: Craig Coffey Canterbury U20: Chris McGoldrick, Ben Raine, James Richards Christchurch Metro: Greg Dawson

In both cricket terms and in a wider Christchurch recovery sense, we must march onwards and upwards next season. The trials and tribulations we have experienced should make us all the stronger for it and put things nicely into perspective when it comes to game days.

While we slowly navigate our way back towards normality during these tricky times, summer Saturdays provide us with an opportunity to release the shackles a little and play with freedom and enjoyment on the park. I look forward to beginning our rise from the rubble come October. See you all then!

Women’s Club Captain’s Report

At the start of the season, which is officially recognised as the club AGM, it became apparent that the women’s side of the club was in for a challenging summer. We seemed to be alright when it came to the key positions, with Amy Satterthwaite being confirmed as the Premier women’s captain and coach of the top two sides.

Closer to the summer, Amy also took on the position of women’s selector. However, the key position of the women’s club captaincy remained unfilled until about mid-October, when I was reluctantly forced to take over the position.

However, it was the lack of players that ultimately determined the season would be amongst the worst in memory for our women’s section. Without wanting to sugar-coat our difficulties or look for positives which weren’t there, to only have two-thirds of a Premier women’s side, no players for a second XI and then to have our social Twenty20 girls team pull out after a fortnight was quite debilitating and extremely disappointing.

In the end, we ended up with a Premier women’s side that often played with nine or 10 players and, on one occasion, eight. I cannot believe - and am still in a state of shock - that a once-proud women’s section could fall away so badly.

On the positive side the remaining players, who were mostly New Zealand (four) or Canterbury (two more) representatives, battled on and secured some excellent victories.

The overall situation, however, must be arrested before the 2011/12 season begins. Strategies need to be put in place to find at least 18 players to build up the numbers to fill out our Premier team, as well as giving the club a second XI (in Division 1).

In the main one-day competition the Premier girls finished a credible second behind the strong Old Boys Collegians-Country side, but in the Twenty20 competition we weren’t able to secure any victories and found ourselves a distant fourth and last.

The other team which we fielded was in Division 3. This was a grade made up of secondary schoolgirls and those promoted from the previous season’s Saturday morning junior team. Under the watchful eye of Barry van Beurten and coach Greg Wadsworth, these girls

22 struggled initially, especially with the bat. However, as the season wore on they were bolstered by some new players who joined from other clubs and with renewed sense of belief they came home with a wet sail.

New Members

With the women’s side of the club not faring well, new players were at a premium this summer. In fact, I think that only Angela Coyle joined the club. We were very happy to welcome the following girls who joined the club in the Division 3 side. They included:

Celine Cotton Dennise Robertson Gabrielle Sullivan Sophie Oldershaw

Members Who Have Left

Well what can one say, so many, and for so many reasons, didn’t return to play for the club this season. Some played the odd fill-in game during the season, but for the purposes of this section we only count those that paid subscriptions from the previous season, and didn’t do so this summer. They included:

Nicola Blue Anne Mackechnie Jessica Shamy Sarah Burke Lara McKenzie Julia Smith Mel Cormick Ella McLeod Ashley Soper Christine Erkerlens Clare Nicholas Anthea Stanley Sarah French Casey O’Brien-Smith Cassie Stylianou Sarah Gagliardi Josie O’Reilly Faye Tahere Tara Horsnell Sarah Parker Amy Voice Laura Jones Alita Penner Emma White Anna Kennedy Mel Reid Vivian Xu Tessa King Sarah Rosanowski

The above represents a grand total of nearly three teams. So many promising players who had the potential to enjoy great rewards in our great game. We hope that many of you will return this coming season. A warm welcome beckons.

Representative Players

During the season a large number of St Albans players were picked to play for various representative teams. Congratulations to all of those named:

If we want this section to once again be the powerhouse of women’s cricket in Christchurch, we need many parts of the puzzle and challenge to all come together. Firstly, we need former players to make a return to the game, either in a casual or a more regular playing commitment. We need former players to make an effort and put something back into the game. There are many and varied areas in which you can help. Just ask.

We need all players to be our recruiters for next summer. In the main players will join a club because of a direct approach from someone already playing, or because they have a friend in the club. Advertising helps, but face-to-face is best. If we are to find 18 players for next summer we need to be innovative and perhaps a tad audacious. If you know of someone and you would like another person to make an approach to them on your behalf, let us know. We need a big concerted effort from everybody, not just leave it and say to yourself “others will do it”. Be a part of the revival of our great club, which has provided 23 New Zealand players and nearly 70 Canterbury representatives. This effort needs to start now.

The women’s section has gone through highs and lows before. We have helped other clubs over the last couple of decades, now we may need their help. We are in threat of not having a Premier team for next summer, let alone other sides below this level. The CCA and other clubs don’t want to have a three-team Premier competition. It is serious, and we need YOUR help.

I look forward to seeing a new women’s club captain elected at the club AGM in early August and a full-on positive outlook as, firstly, pre- season training starts and then player numbers will allow us to enter teams in most of the women’s grades for next season. Winter well and good luck to the three players from the club, who will be representing our country overseas, as you read this annual report.

Top Individual Performances

The 2010/11 season was noticeably lopsided when comparing big performances achieved with the bat versus those with the ball. While the 13 centuries scored by club members was a very respectable tally, only two six-wicket hauls were taken all season. This was a remarkably low figure, even taking into account the extraordinary circumstances which curtailed the season five weeks early.

Typically more six-wicket bags are taken than centuries scored in any given season, so this was a fair turn-up for the books. The batsmen of the club got in the thick of it right from the first day of the season, when Amy Satterthwaite and Amber Boyce both posted sizeable tons as they combined for a 219-run stand for the Premier women. It is normally good going if the club’s first individual century is scored within the first month, let alone two occurring on the opening day.

Three sides accounted for 12 of the 13 hundreds, with the President’s men leading the way with five; the Premier women accounting for four (after the combined women’s section scored none last season); and the 2B men totalled three.

A player scoring more than one ton in a season is a fine achievement, so to have as many as three managing this feat was impressive. Amy Satterthwaite was one to do so, while Lloyd Richardson and Mark Hampton’s efforts were even more special as they both scored theirs in consecutive innings. Hampton also still has the chance to shoot for three on the bounce when he has his first bat of the coming season.

Jared Roberts’ 6-47 was his best figures for his new club (beating the 2-24 he took against his old club East Christchurch Shirley earlier in the season). The figures were the “worst” to ever top the Saints season bowling board, overtaking Dan Johnston’s 6-20 from just last season.

Three players added to their tally of hundreds for the club, namely Mark Hampton (seventh and eighth), Amy Satterthwaite (fourth and fifth) and Pierre Flavell (fourth). Duncan Anderson’s 6-49 was his fourth six-wicket haul for Saints.

Jonathan Price finally scored his maiden century for the club, having debuted at St Albans in 2004/05. Incredibly, for such a prolific top-order batsman, it took him 123 matches over the best part of seven seasons to break his hoodoo. Before he made his unbeaten 122 against Sumner, he had scored 3458 runs and passed fifty 25 times without reaching three figures. This included four scores in the nineties, with his previous best being 96 not out against the Sydenham Cardinals back in 2006.

26

With the paucity of big innings wicket hauls and the two-day competitions ending less than two-thirds of the way through, it’s not surprising that nobody had a 10-wicket match. Tom Robertson came closest with 8-41 from 24 overs for the 2B men against Sydenham.

Notable all-round performances came from: Amy Satterthwaite, who dominated that opening game by following up her 167 with 4-23; George Earl, with 55 and 5-36 for the 2A men against Marist-Harewood (81 runs and 8-113 for the match); and Craig Coffey, making his debut for the club fresh off a plane from Brisbane, with 61 and 5-39 in a one-dayer for the 2A men against Marist-Harewood.

Evan Jones took the only hat-trick of the season, helping the 4A men to finish off the Sydenham Challengers’ innings with a brutally efficient spell of 4-13 from just 2.2 overs.

After seeing almost all of the squad from the previous year returning there were lofty hopes of winning the two-day competition for the third consecutive season. Adding the one-day or Twenty20 titles to the trophy cabinet was also well within our grasp. With the winner of the one-day competition representing Canterbury at the National Club Championship at the end of the season, the CCA decided to play the competition in its entirety before Christmas. This season also saw the introduction of the Canterbury Under-20s team, which relieved the bye round and proved to be a real success.

One-day Cup

Once again we proved sluggish starters, with losses in our first two matches against the newly introduced Under-20s side and Canterbury Country. These were both games we felt we had chances to win but collapses at crucial times proved to be our downfall. We finally got off the mark with 76-run win over Sydenham with Ben Langrope continuing his strong start to the season with a well compiled 75.

We only came out of a big win against Marist-Harewood with one bonus point to our credit, having been docked the five win points for failing to remove the covers on time in the morning. It was poor reward for what was one of our most comprehensive performances of the season. Justin Gourlie took a remarkable 5-21 before Chris McGoldrick got off the portable treadmill he runs around on in the outfield to see us home with an unbeaten 64.

The next match against East Christchurch Shirley saw Duncan Anderson in his best bowling form, claiming 6-49 in East’s score of 224/8. Unfortunately, it was to no avail with us falling 21 runs short.

Against Old Boys Collegians Greg Dawson (66) and Langrope (59) combined for a great partnership, before Dawson helped wrap up a comfortable victory with three wickets with his prolific turners. 34

However, the nail in the coffin of our semi-final hopes came courtesy of a poor performance against Riccarton. The only highlight being Craig “who’s throwing the coasters” Coffey posting his maiden Premier 50. We rounded off the one-day section with a tight seven-run victory over Burnside West University, with Michael Parlane scoring his first 50 for the club.

Twenty20 Trophy

This competition has proven an enigma for the club over the years with one unbeaten title-winning effort, surrounded by otherwise disastrous results. This season, however, we clicked as a unit and had three comfortable wins over Sydenham, Marist and Riccarton to set up a final match-up against Old Boys. In a tough, grinding match on a slow track we were seen home by Ben Langrope, who nurdled an unbeaten 40, to become the first club to win this competition twice.

The success of the side in this Show Weekend competition was founded on an all-round team effort, with stand-out performances coming from a number of individuals when asked to step up. Michael Davidson was a stand-out player in the tournament, contributing well with the bat and hitting the most sixes over the weekend. With the ball he barely conceded three runs per over, with his most telling spell coming in the final, where he took 2-8 off his four overs. Justin Gourlie took the most tournament wickets; Aaron Johnstone completed the most dismissals; and Craig Coffey and Matt Holstein were right near the top of the run-scoring and wicket-taking charts, respectively.

Two-day Trophy

We naturally headed into our most favoured competition with a strong dose of optimism. However, the only things worse than our first turn at bat were Craig Coffey’s jokes and the stench from Matt Holstein’s bag after discovering a lunch his Mum made him in 2009. We were rolled for 120 by Old Boys and forced to follow-on after they made 245. Jared Roberts, who had shown a lot of promise all season, was rewarded for his hard work with figures of 6-47. On the second morning we were on the receiving end of some good fortune after Old Boys failed to cover the wicket, meaning no play was possible on day two and we received some bonus points from the situation.

The second match against Marist once again saw us struggle with the bat as we were dismissed for just 107. We bowled extremely well but the ball kept beating the edge numerous times and Marist managed to

35 eke out a first-innings lead. They did however leave the door open by declaring only 50 runs ahead. We were pretty confident if we could score 200 in the second innings, we could get our season back on track by bowling them out. In fact, we did a little better than that, declaring at 250/6 on the back of 50s from Ben Raine, Greg Dawson and Michael Davidson and a quick-fire 33 not out from James Richards. Holstein then continued his love affair with Redwood Park, proving the main destroyer with four wickets as we dismissed Marist for 135.

With rain meaning we lost day one of our match against East Shirley, it was decided both teams would forfeit their first innings and set up a chance for an outright result. After a top-order collapse we thought a draw would be a great outcome, but some real grit and fight from Greg Dawson (63) and Matt Holstein (46 not out) saw us through to 173. With time running out a fantastic performance by our bowling unit - led by Michael Davidson (5-19) - gave us a glimmer of hope of pulling off a miraculous victory. However, we ran out of overs with Easts hanging on at 108/8 when time was called.

Another strong bowling display from Roberts and Gourlie in the next match saw us roll Sydenham for just 72. Davidson and Raine then scored 50s to give us a 156-run lead. Despite being given ample time to bowl them out, we were denied by a gutsy batting display on a docile pitch as we toiled for just six wickets in an entire day’s play.

Our tilt at the title was still looking good with us sitting in a very strong position after the first day against Burnside and still having to play leaders Lancaster Park Woolston. Sadly, the well documented events of February 22 brought an abrupt halt to the season.

All in all it was a satisfactory season. More importantly, the form of a number of players plus the continued success of our bowling unit has us in good shape. Given recent events and the uncertainty of who will be back next season we hope we can retain our ‘out-of-towners’ to have a real tilt at all three trophies.

On a final note, on behalf of the whole team, a massive thanks must go to Steve Cunis. Steve has had a huge hand in the success of our side in recent times in his capacity as both player and coach. Steve’s hard-nosed approach has worn off on all those around him. Although you have moved back to the North Island we hope you will return to coach the club in years to come.

It was a season of mixed results for our side, but overall not a bad year considering we had a lot of young guys in the team and a high level of player turnover. A good group of lads made the time inside the changing rooms enjoyable.

In the one-dayers a poor result against Sydenham cost us a spot in the semi-finals, while the Twenty20 competition ended up being the most disappointing for us. We were in a good position to win the title before faltering displays against Burnside West University and Marist- Harewood left us trailing in second place. We were really well set up in the two-day competition, leading overall going into the round during when the earthquake struck. However, thanks to a bad performance on the first day, we fell a couple of points short of securing the trophy when the CCA decided to cancel the remainder of the season.

Team-wise the highlight of the season was the last two-dayer before Christmas against Old Boys Collegians. Every member of the side contributed to a tense last-over victory in a match where over 1000 runs were scored in total.

Individually, Greg Wadsworth really deserved all the awards that came his way at the end-of-season prize-giving. He had an outstanding season, with some really powerful innings and crucial wickets earning us victories. His post-dismissal antics will be spoken of for years.

The other overseas lads - Simon George, Tom Robertson and Lloyd Richardson - all made good contributions in all areas when they were part of the side.

Karl Josephs was really solid at the top of the order, playing a lot of good innings and is a great team man, copping all jokes on the chin well. Six months in the gym will hopefully give him the ability to clear the inner ring.

Greg Buckley really lifted with the bat this season, playing some great knocks and performing well with the gloves on as well. Also looked outstanding in his Smiths Hire cap.

Mat Munro struggled as injuries cut his appearances down, but we still saw glimpses of what gave him his superstar status. A great man to have around for ideas as well.

Bryce Ashman (‘Big Dell’) is the best warm-up fieldsman the game has seen and showed the way with his style off the park too. Really improved with the bat this season, helping us out of some tight spots despite being shuffled around the order week-to-week.

Scott MacGibbon made great contributions with the ball for us, especially in the closer’s role in the Twenty20s. It was also great to see a couple of send-offs he gave batsmen.

James O’Gorman was great to have in the side, showing his class by scoring plenty of runs and performing well with the ball too.

Jared Roberts and George Earl were two more who showed they were a class above on the few occasions we had their services. Both deserved their elevations into the Premier side when they came.

It was a pleasure to have Angus Bruce around for a lot of the season, inadvertently thanks to the earthquake bringing him back ‘home’ for extended visits, and he scored plenty of runs for us.

Clem Gibbens was another great team man and in the last game for us his bowling really went up a few notches.

Thanks to all others who filled in over the season, especially ‘Mustard’ (Jonathan Hanson) and ‘Metallica’ (Andy Murray), who helped out frequently without complaint and performed well when given the chance. Between them, the colourful track shoes and the lunchtime Indian debacle also kept the boys well entertained.

Personally, it was a challenge being thrown into the captaincy role, but it was an enjoyable year. If we can keep the core of the group together, we can certainly challenge for some trophies in 2011/12. I look forward to seeing as many of the boys back as possible next summer.

To call the season a ‘challenge’ would be a decent understatement as far as the 2B men were concerned in 2010/11. Possibly the most significant omen of what was to come occurred five minutes before the opening match of the season. Matt Sutherland (a last-minute ring-in from the 4B team) arrived to the warm-ups and attempted to catch the very first ball hit his way ... breaking his little finger in doing so. He was thus forced to spent the game across the road at the hospital and we played one short. When the season was abruptly ended in tragic circumstances in February, you knew it was just one of those years you had to shrug your shoulders at and take whatever lessons learnt from it to use next season.

We failed to win any of our one-dayers, with results ranging from comedic chokes through to outright spankings. Having been well dealt to by Lancaster Park Woolston in the opener, we soon found ourselves 46/6 at Sydenham. We did show some resolve, though, recovering to 162 on the back of a dashing 51 from Tom Robertson. This was to be our only non-defeat in the one-dayers after it hosed down during the lunch break.

Our limited batting depth was well tested in the next two matches as the bowlers were put to the sword to the tune of 261 and 320 by Old Boys Collegians and East Christchurch Shirley, respectively. We fell well short after spirited efforts, though Paul Thornton fulfilled some of his long-held promise with a classy knock of 86 in the latter game, showing just how effective he can be if he survives his first few nervous deliveries.

The Richmond match on Hagley 4 was possibly the craziest drawn-out finish to a cricket match that I have been a part of. We required just 25 runs off six overs to win, with five wickets in hand. However, a few dot balls and a few reckless swipes later, the equation had transformed to 14 needed off the last over with one wicket in hand. One in the final over neatly summed up how spectacularly we had botched this chase. Our last pair, Andy Murray and Anu Diwakar, ended up at the same end after a stroke played to wide long-off ... and after approximately nine ‘yes/no’ calls between them, Anu jogged all the way back to the non- striker’s end ... end result, no run. All told, five wickets fell to run outs or

44 stumpings as we fell four runs short. At least we provided some great entertainment for the 2A team, who could barely contain themselves watching this Keystone Kops saga from the sideline!

Our last one-dayer was remarkable for an amazing individual feat. Lloyd Richardson, who had averaged eight with the bat up to this point, launched a single-handed blitzkrieg which threatened to steal an improbable victory chase at Burnside. Promoted to open the innings, he posted his century when the scoreboard read 135/6 and ended up stranded on 149 off 137 balls (25 fours, one six) when he ran out of partners. He scored 78 percent of the team’s total, while surprise pinch- hitting opening partner Anu was the second highest scorer with nine. The knock kick-started Lloyd’s season as he followed it up with 129 in the following two-day game against Richmond, including a ton before lunch.

It was in the Twenty20 format where we were most successful. Despite a hiccup against otherwise-winless Sydenham, a series of clinical victories over Easts, Park, Richmond and Old Boys set us up for a winner-takes-all clash against Riccarton. Unfortunately, we failed to replicate what had brought us success previously. Our normally tight bowling unit gave away too many boundary balls and we fell too far behind the asking rate when chasing a tough target of 162 for the title. We gamely managed to get within 13 runs thanks to Simon George and Jonathan Hanson, but sadly we had to settle for second best on this occasion.

With many in the team not knowing each other prior to the season beginning, it was during the Twenty20s that the unit started gelling well, particularly thanks to the humour injected into the scene by the larger- than-life Jonathan Collins. We lifted in the field, producing a few immaculate displays that wouldn’t have been out of place at much higher levels. This backed up some exceptionally tight bowling from the likes of Tom Robertson, Will Axup and converted medium pacer Jamie Schwass. Jamie’s off-spin proved impossible to get away, as he took 11 wickets at less than six-apiece and had an economy rate of barely five-an-over.

The two-dayers were a mixed bag, but with some encouraging positives. First came an honourable draw on a belter of a pitch at Richmond; then we fought grittily to make Old Boys work for the outright points, leaving us to rue a terrible start to a match that was otherwise evenly contested; followed by a loss to Easts in a contrived single-day match, where our bowling penetration let us down after a champagne innings of 115 not out by Saints alumnus - and inspired last-minute inclusion - Bevan Rich.

Against a weakened Sydenham team we dictated terms from the off and extracted our sole two-day win just after lunch on the second day, on the back of eight wickets from Tom Robertson. The final match at Burnside 45 was left in an intriguing position as we scrapped our way back from 21/5 to make 147, then fought gamely to restrict the deficit to just 26 at stumps. Of course, we’ll never know how the rest would’ve panned out.

Congratulations to team player of the year Tom Robertson. 400 runs, 18 wickets and 10 catches is a solid body of work - especially considering the varied roles required of him at times, ranging from complete spells with the new ball through to having to keep wicket at short notice.

Will Axup was our top wicket-taker with 25, deceiving many with his changes of pace as he often trundled in like a harmless little old lady only to catch the batsman unawares with an array of bouncers and brisk rib- ticklers. His unorthodox batting technique tested his captain’s patience at times, but when it came off his cameos were fun to watch.

Andy Murray (‘Metallica’) wasn’t far behind in the wicket-taking stakes but leaps years ahead of all in entertainment value. There was never a dull moment with him at the bowling crease, sometimes leaving his own fielders more bewildered than the batsmen with his unique phraseology.

Other regular players to feature this year were Clem Gibbens, a solid rival for ‘Metallica’ in the fired-up pace bowler stakes; Simon George, who found fine batting form with us and whose keeping was exemplary; as well as Patrick Sullivan, Craig Moore and Jonathan Hanson, who all made important contributions with bat or ball when asked to step up.

The team farewells a morning grade stalwart in Matt Lawson, who is off to the UK in the winter after eight seasons yeoman service for the club. All the best, ‘Tanders’, it has been an absolute pleasure.

A big shout out to our team of super-subs who helped out greatly with one-off appearances: Matthew Abbott, James Alabaster, Garrett Ashman, Ben Brady, Jack Bruce, Greg Buckley, David Collings, Kurt England, Regan Fielding, Jitendra Hirani, Scott MacGibbon, Josh Miller, Rowan Muller, Edward Nuttall, Hayden Pipe, Bevan Rich, Matt Sutherland and Ashit Vekaria. Between them they contributed 273 runs at 19.50, 11 wickets at 28.27 and six catches. We were otherwise forced to play a man or two short a few times, so you have my utmost appreciation, lads.

All in all it was a difficult season, but one not without its highlights. We must now look to the future and rebuild towards the Gold Standard which we set a couple of seasons ago. It won’t be easy but I look forward to meeting this challenge head-on and will hopefully see many of you again very soon at pre-season training. Until then, winter well everyone!

Prior to the start of the season Tony Falloon (aka ‘Captain Tard’) advised the lads that “we will be small in number but big in heart” ... and so it was to prove over the course of the 2010/11 season, the 23rd season in BBBBs history. We lost several players from the 2009/10 squad, however joining the remaining core of the team was a new member to the club, top-order batsman Mark Barron - welcome aboard Snoopy, hope you enjoyed the season.

Before the first ball was bowled we lost the said Captain Tard for most of the season to a “hard to believe it happened that way” type of foot injury and, as a result, a hastily convened meeting was held to appoint a new captain. After all the willing volunteers had put forward their names and vigorous discussion was had by the team as to who the suitable replacement was to be ... hold on, that’s right, no-one put their hand up so it ended up being me!

From the first game to the last we struggled each week to have a full team. Week after week the hunt took place from our stock of ex- players, work colleagues, friends of friends and then finally the ever- reliable Duane Pettet (thanks Duane, your BBBBs contract is ready for signing) to ensure we fielded a full and competitive team. A huge thanks to all those extras who helped out over the course of the season. All the effort was worth it at the end of the day as we took out the grade win - our 13th title since the 1993/94 season.

As can be seen from the stats, this season really was a team effort. There was no one stand-out player with loads of runs or wickets. Different people on different weeks did whatever was required by the team to get us to the winning post and this is a true reflection of just how close a team we are.

The annual team awards this year went to the following:

• Hondo (Brent Holland) thoroughly deserved to be our player of the year with a solid all-round performance. • YT (Graeme White) yet again takes out the bowler of the year award, having lost no pace at all, much to the discomfort of opposition batsmen and our aging ‘keeper! 49

• Fish (Stu Thompson) was solid at the top of the order scoring a lot of his runs with his aptly named “fish slice” (the boy loves to cut anything) and picks up the batting award. • Jimmy (James Alabaster) takes home the all-rounder award having surprised everyone, including himself, with some fine bowling spells to back up his middle-order batting. • Daygo (Graham Curgenven) proudly takes home the Harbour Bridge award as the season’s worst in the fielding department. • Eagle (Brad Smith) limps in to take the Cart Horse award for the player who labours the most in the field - harsh but fair. • Reado (Dean Read) narrowly beat off a few close challengers to take home the Mr Grumpy award for the winter.

There were also team milestones aplenty reached this year as follows:

• Hondo passed 450 wickets for the team • Reado clocked up 3000 runs and played his 150th game • Daygo took catch number 300 • Lowey (Darren Lowe) played his 150th game • Potty (Scott Mason) took his team wicket tally over the 750 mark

As is traditional for the team after the game - win or lose - we have a quiet beer or two, give out the various weekly awards and enjoy each other’s company before heading back to the pavilion or off home ... and that’s the way it should be.

It has been my pleasure to captain such a great bunch of lads over the season and to have taken out the grade win sums up to me exactly what this team is and has always been about - play hard, play fair, have fun and enjoy the game.

See you all next season lads where I’m certain the fun will continue.

Scott Mason

4A Grade Men

P W L T/NR Place One-day: 16 8 8 0 4th (9)

If one word were to describe the 2010/11 season for the Boundary Riders (once ranked as the equal greatest side in the history of cricket after two wins from our debut matches), it would be razzle-f***ing- dazzle. Bored with easily beating inferior teams, we were ‘promoted’ to the 4A grade, with many of us expecting to win the league. However, not ones to disappoint the neutral, we ensured that each seemingly easy match was a veritable cliff-hanger.

We’re a sporting lot at the Boundary Riders and, as with any self- respecting cricketing gentlemen, we weren’t afraid to let the opposition win. This is lucky, because we allowed them to do so with increasing regularity during a season which saw us continue our fine tradition of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. We suffered, once again, from that terminal illness that ails most social teams, the middle-order collapse. Although we failed to reach the staggeringly atrocious heights of last season (such as 81/1 becoming 81/6 against our arch-enemy New Brighton), we had some honourable attempts. Most notable of these was an outrageous collapse of about 7 for 5 against “Gandalf the Grey’s” Southern Districts team.

Although we didn’t have the best of years, the early end to the season cost star batsman and off-spinner Ben “Ball Bags” Ramsay the chance to push for the bolter spot in the 2011 Black Caps World Cup squad. Inexplicably, that spot went to ‘wicket-keeper’/batsman Jamie How instead. Ben has since retired from representative cricket to focus on the Boundary Riders. International honours, however, did go to one of our players. Opening batsman Jeremy “Jezza” Cumming, following on from his selection for the Ugandan under-21 team, made the full step up to the senior team and scored 0 and 1 in his appearances against a Tanzanian XI. He is yet to receive any subsequent caps.

Jerry and Ben fitted in at Nos. 2 and 4 in the batting order, with me batting at No. 1 (it’s been said that I bat like a cross between cricketing greats Sachin Tendulkar, Don Bradman and Gareth Hopkins) and bowling some express right-arm medium. Ben’s brother and leg- spinner, Dan “Princess” Ramsay, slipped in at No. 3 and was vice- captain of the side. At No. 5 was our wicket-keeper Alister “Kamran” Melville, who scored plenty of runs and improved his keeping a lot 53 from last season. Joining Ali in the middle order was Grant Ross, a new signing for the Riders this season and specialist master blaster who scored quite a few runs. All-rounder Jono “Talk the talk” Hamilton often filled the No. 7 spot and, incredibly, became even cockier this season. He was always generous enough to tell us when we were playing poorly. Jono used his tree of a bat to club some valuable runs and was our top bowler at the start of the season, before opening bowler Mikey “Monsoon Poon” Nuttall overtook him with his right-arm pace. Mike batted at about No. 10 and, with a minimum of foot movement, managed to blast many a boundary in some match- winning performances.

Evan Jones, top-order batsman and medium-pace bowler, was a new team member this season and he was the sort of player that makes us all look bad, using what some observers might call “ability”. Mark “Dutchy” van Groenedaal, top or middle-order batsman, improved a lot this season and developed a very good technique. Although he didn’t score as many runs as he could have, confidence and a bit of time at the crease will see him score many more next season.

Like any self-respecting social team, we employed kids to win us games. A popular tactic this season was to play 14-year-old Regan Ramsay. Regan looked small but he would often loosen up the opposition attack, batting with a very good technique at No. 10. This allowed Simon Geoffrey Hall the opportunity to unleash his beloved “Son of Cookie”. Simon Geoffrey sportingly batted at No. 11 and opened the bowling, taking a big haul of wickets with his left-arm swing. However, it should be noted, disappointingly, that Simon Geoffrey’s outrageous fielding of the previous season - his endlessly entertaining face grind on the boundary comes to mind - disappeared.

Honourable mentions go to our regular fill-ins: Darren “Daz” Overton, Dan King and Todd Ramsay.

The boys and I loved playing for Saints this season and were disappointed - as I’m sure were everyone else - when the season ended so abruptly. We’d like to thank Alan Jamieson, without whom I’m convinced this fantastic club wouldn’t operate, and Duane Pettet for their awesome help throughout the season. We’re already getting organised for next season, where we hope to continue our ascent through the CCA lower grades. Who knows, maybe one day we might be playing at the dizzying heights of third grade. We can only dream.

4B Grade Men

P W L T/NR Place One-day: 15 7 8 0 4th= (8)

The 4Bs had a bumpy yet enjoyable season. There were many highs, these coming on and off the field. There were also quite a few lows, but these all had to do with our batting totals. Many of the team returned from last season but we also welcomed Mark Reid, Tristram Jesson-Moore, Jitendra Hirani and Kade Wallis into our dysfunctional unit. Before moving onto the report for the season, I would like to thank Duane Pettet for making sure we had 11 finely-tuned athletes for each game.

The season started off with a different tune than usual as a number of the newer players in the team actually went to the practices on Wednesday evenings. This was much to Chris McFarlin’s disgust and he unsuccessfully attempted to have them banished from the team for their efforts.

Unfortunately the team’s main batsman, Matt Sutherland, was forced to sit out the first few weeks due to a freak injury in which he broke his pinky finger (more commonly known as the reverse thumb) during warm-ups. As a result, Matt has sensibly decided to retire from warming up.

The new guys fitted in well. Kade had the ball on a string early on in the season until a groin injury hampered him, meaning he could only play a limited part in the later games. Mark, voted by the team as most likely to become President of the club, relished his new role of wicket-keeper. After learning how to stop the ball with his head, he soon discovered that the gloves can be quite useful as well. Jitendra could turn the ball on any surface and played a clutch innings batting at No. 11 against Marist-Harewood on the worst pitch in Christchurch. Tristram provided some lusty blows (with the bat and at the Mad Cow). Unfortunately, whenever his Mum came to watch him play he failed miserably.

Most of our games were won by our bowlers this year. I was fortunate enough to have the angry hero, Mat “Wizza” Wiseman, opening up the attack with Abe McDougall, who had his best ever season and was unlucky to not get the team player of the year award. Kade and Chris Blackmore followed this pair’s efforts up and consistently made the ball 57 talk. Unfortunately, we lost Chris halfway through the season so he could fulfil his dream of becoming a South Aucklander.

John Bascand has turned down numerous offers from the Wellington Phoenix after scouts saw his football skills on the cricket field. It is unknown what position he was being touted to play but it was definitely not goalkeeper. He was also credited with hitting the largest six of the season ... pity it was during backyard cricket and he lost the ball in the process.

Nigel Bennett, despite always telling me he was too old and sore to play, did manage to get a few games in. Voted as the guy least likely to start a fight by the team, his nature of not really giving a shit complemented us perfectly.

Jason “Sooty” McKey once again provided us with stability at the top of the order. He is now flourishing after becoming a father, although his lack of sleep is concerning. Sooty is always giving the bowler encouragement from his position at mid-off or, in my case, letting me know when it’s time to take myself out of the bowling attack.

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to a 4B stalwart, Ross Falconer. Ross, the only true all-rounder in the team, has made the move to Queenstown. It was rumoured of his being unhappy with the workload he was being given with the ball and has had to move away to let his body recover. Ross and his cone will be sorely missed by the team.

Whilst we only won about as many games as we lost, it was a successful season in that plenty of fun was had on the field, with a number of brilliant individual performances winning games for us. I’ve left for London so won’t be back next season but good luck to all the boys. I’m sure you’ll give plenty of teams a good beating.

President’s Grade Men

P W L T/NR Place One-day: 14 7 6 1 5th (11)

Like many others experienced, this season was a disappointment for the club’s President’s grade team because of the abrupt ending. At a time when momentum had just arrived and with any of five teams able to win the competition, we had the dizzying heights of finishing in the top two or three in our sights. At the very least we had made an impact by toppling two of the teams in contention ahead of us to help blow the competition wide open. We were out to spoil the fortunes of another team, our arch-nemesis East Christchurch Shirley Gold, in the next game too.

As modern life dictates, we had to use a raft of players to complete daily activities - 23 in all. The ages of our players ranged from mid- teens to mid-sixties and I personally want to thank you all for taking the time to come down and roll the arm over and hit a few to the fence. The other disappointing aspect of the season was that we had some exceptional performances that, given the chance, had the opportunity to rewrite the record books.

The obvious one that stands out is Mark Hampton’s performances in the two weeks immediately before the February quake. Opening the batting Mark showed his true form, taking us to victory with unbeaten centuries on both occasions. It would have been interesting to see if he could make three in a row. An outstanding effort, Mark, and no doubt you can’t wait to continue the trend in the new season.

We had lots of other personal highlights that stood out over the year plus a few ‘firsts’ too. Jonathan Price, after many years and attempts, scored his first ton for the club, with a magnificent 122 not out against Sumner. He knows how to do it now, so we expect many more such innings to come. Pricey again topped the team aggregates with a brilliant tally of 523 runs. A total of 800-plus was easily in his sights.

Dave Collings provided a constant reminder that Aussies always take their chances when given them. Asked if he could open the innings for the season he took it with both hands. After scoring a streaky 17 in his first week in the role, he followed up with a sensational 113 in the very next game. He also contributed greatly with the ball and in the field and made captaincy easy with an all-rounder like him in the ranks.

The ‘Three Amigos’ chimed in beautifully towards the end of the season, after a very slow start. Sargy (Sajid Sayed), this year was the best I have ever seen you bowl! Pace, swing and seam - what more can a captain ask for? Except maybe for the batsman to edge it. Poor Slammy (Duncan Hutton) couldn’t buy a wicket to start with, but came home strong and again played vital innings with the bat to see us through when needed. Jacko (Dave Jackson) was a welcome return to the bowling crease for us after completing his overseas training expedition to the Philippines. However, going by the first Saturday’s performance might I suggest that touring a cricket-playing nation would be a better option next year, mate! Nonetheless, a good return to form though and many more wickets will surely come.

The Cox boys (Selwyn and Barry) were again to the fore with bat this year. The chocolate fish ebbed and flowed early on during the sideline bets, with Selwyn showing great form to take the honours as the quake closed the race. However, rumour has it Baz may have gone to the judiciary over there being no clause about interference by acts of god. A big thanks to Selly and Lorraine for opening their home to the boys for the Waitangi Day barbecue. It was outstanding as usual.

We had some new faces this year in Geoff Henry and Matt Doolan. They fitted in perfectly with the boys and showed some strong performances and have a great foundation to build on for next year. Also returning to the side were Richard Carrigan (the club utility player - what team hasn’t he played for?) and ‘our’ English professional, Chris Taylor. Both showed glimpses of what they are capable of and given the opportunity next year I am sure they will showcase their brilliance.

That only leaves me to thank the supporters who tirelessly came down to watch the boys in the heat and the cold. In particular, Michelle Price (club supporter of the year) and Richard Mather. When available, Richard contributed on the field, averaging 64 with the bat (including taking us to victory with Mark against Lancaster Park Woolston) and 17 with the ball. He was also a great help off the field too, with discussions of tactics and the likes. He would challenge me with ideas and options on the field, which was greatly appreciated and I hope he can only but play more and more next year.

A big thanks to all the guys and now we must look onwards and upwards for the coming season. In the meantime, everyone take care through these challenging times.

Our Twenty20 team was a mixture of friends from high school, friends- of-friends and club players. This made for a messy start to the season due to a lack of numbers and a changing line-up. However, we made a reasonable fist of most of our games, especially in the latter half of the season.

Unfortunately, the season would have been just that much better if we could have achieved a level of consistency. Our major downfall was the fact that every week one player would get most of the runs and another the wickets, while the remainder struggled to chime in.

Over the course of the season, however, each player showed great ability. For example, in our last game against Heathcote, Richard Reed ended with bowling figures of 3-4 from three overs while Perry Vogel grabbed 3-26 and scored 36 with the bat. Another example is an earlier game against Heathcote where Regan Fielding took 4-19 in his first game for the team. In the same match Chris East smashed 40 off just 21 balls, the fastest innings of the season for us.

I do believe that most of the players had a reasonably enjoyable season, it was just unfortunate that we could not quite get the winning feeling amongst the guys. Nevertheless, we were progressively getting closer with each successive game as our side became more and more competitive. For instance, in one of our first games we were rolled for 50 by Riccarton (one of the weaker teams), whereas in the latter part of the season we put together 173/4 against Sydenham (one of the top sides).

For me this was a fun season and I would just like to thank the guys for playing and to the club for allowing us to enter a side. It was just sad (but understandable) that our season was cut short as I am sure we would have notched up that all-important maiden victory.

This season had it all: the bitter taste of defeat, the joys of victory, records and the reward of representative selections.

We started off with a hiss and a roar by scoring a record-breaking 431 runs against Lancaster Park Woolston-Sydenham, with two centuries scored in the one innings. Amber Boyce scored her maiden hundred for the club, smashing a quick-fire 145 - including nine sixes!

We struggled throughout the season for numbers yet managed to pull off some courageous wins, including beating a strong East Christchurch Shirley side with only eight players.

It was pleasing to see some players stand up and produce some memorable individual performances. Janet Brehaut got close to her maiden hundred, scoring 92 against East Shirley. Meg Kendal continued her trend of getting injured, this time seeing stars after an on-field collision. She did however bounce back and returned to score her maiden club century against Old Boys Collegians-Country in what turned out to be the last game of the year.

After the pre-Christmas portion of the one-day competition was completed we were strongly positioned. The untimely earthquake did however put paid to what could have been a successful season. It did, however, put things into perspective after what was a life-changing event. Our team did not get off lightly with everyone having their own terrifying experiences and some players losing their homes.

For the Twenty20 section of the season we managed to get 11 on the park most weeks, however our performances were well below our expectations. Senior players failed to stand up and losing became a frustratingly common outcome. However, we do have a lot of exciting talent in our team, which bodes well for next season.

This season saw us produce six Canterbury Magicians players with Amy Satterthwaite, Janet Brehaut, Meg Kendal, Amber Boyce, Lea

67

Tahuhu and Kelly Anderson all donning the red and black colours. Tessa Hopkinson took our representative tally to seven after being selected for the Otago Sparks. Nat Cox continued to show her promise and was reselected in the Canterbury Development team.

It was extremely pleasing to see Amy Satterthwaite, Kelly Anderson, Lea Tahuhu and Janet Brehaut rewarded with national selection after strong performances at provincial level. It is fantastic to see the club producing such talented players and ones to lead our club to future success.

This year we gained a new player in Angela Coyle. Ange was a great addition to the team and regularly contributed to the side’s performances. I would like to thank all of those players who filled in for our team - sometimes week-in, week-out. We often struggled to field a side and it is only with their help that we managed to have a team each Saturday.

After what has been a very successful few years, Amber Boyce has decided to hang up the whites to spend more time on the lakes and greens. She has been a pivotal member of the team, producing many outstanding performances. Her ability to clear the rope always worried opposition teams and she was frequently called upon with the ball, regularly taking wickets. She leaves a big hole next season and will be hard to replace. We wish her every success in the future and thank her for her contributions to the team.

Next season will be a testing one in the aftermath of the quake. All teams will be tested for playing numbers and I have no doubt there will be some earthquake-related changes to the upcoming season. We wish those who have been affected all the best as we all try to overcome the events that have forever changed our city.

With the exception of the quake - and the resulting shortened season - it has been a great development season for the girls. We had several new girls join the team and made an impact this season, plus several girls from previous seasons who contributed solidly.

Katie Morris had a good season with the bat and ball, scoring a couple of 40s and bowled some very economical spells. Katie was the team’s player of the year and was also selected in the Canterbury Under-15 girls representative team. Many thanks to her father Paul, who volunteered to umpire many of the games and encouraged the girls to get out and umpire as well. At the end of the season Katie and Alyssa Tahuhu both assisted as umpires very capably.

Other representative honours this year went to Kate van Beurten, Gabby Sullivan, Celine Cotton and Sophie Oldershaw.

Kate was co-captain of the Christchurch Under-14A girls team that went up to Auckland and won a tournament there against teams from the Auckland region. She was the team’s wicket-keeper (along with Katie Morris and Cassie Stewart) and took several wickets and opened the batting. She top scored this season with an unbeaten 50.

Gabby is arguably the most talented Year 8 girl in Christchurch - both with the bat and ball. She was one of the youngest girls in the Under- 14A representative team and performed very well all round. Even though she joined us part-way through the season she scored the most runs in the team, coming in at No. 3 or 4.

Celine also made the Under-14A girls team and is the quickest bowler in that age group. Throughout the year she bowled some amazing deliveries which left the batsmen wondering how to play her. She is also one of those players who makes fielding for several hours fun with her positive, bubbly personality.

Sophie’s cricket significantly improved a lot over the year - so much so that she cemented a place in the Under-14B representative girls team as an all-rounder. We look forward to her contribution next year.

70

So we have a good representative base of girls from which to build a strong team on next year.

Cassie Stewart was a strong player in the team, often as a strike bowler and a very strong middle-order bat that could quickly pick up the run rate with some strong on-side shots.

We discovered that Rachel Sloan was a very effective opening bowler who had considerable success with her slow bowling that the opposition opening batsmen had real trouble playing.

Melissa Sloan had some good innings batting throughout the order and towards the end of the season really started to be effective with the ball also.

Holly Luxton-Russell had a very solid season and contributed with both the bat and ball and was always one of the first at practice.

Dennise Robinson started playing cricket this year and learnt how to bowl in the nets. Her highlight would surely be taking two wickets in her second game.

Alyssa Tahuhu’s most outstanding contribution was a catch she took to dismiss a very strong batter early in the season. She was fielding in close and made a blistering grab which almost any other player would have dropped. She also had a reasonable year with the bat and ball.

Nicole Sloan played several games for us and the Premiers and solidly contributed with the bat.

We look forward to an even better season next year.

Junior Girls

This season saw the club have only one junior girls team, the same as previously. Most of the girls came from Christchurch South Intermediate and we thank Stephen Cunis for his diligent work in this area. With his relocation to Whangarei, we hope that our connection with the school will continue, through another of our club members who currently teaches at South. The team was coached by Janet Brehaut and Lea Tahuhu, with help on a Saturday from Caroline Hamel and Richard Carrigan.

I guess that the season could be described as one of development and learning, as for many of the girls it was their first taste of competitive games against other club teams. All their games were played on the Hospital Corner pitches and it was quite a scene watching hundreds of players enjoying themselves and improving as each Saturday rolled by.

The team had slightly more losses than wins. However, in a strange twist of fate, the roll of success that the team was starting to build after the Christmas break was cut short by the earthquake. The girls all enjoyed playing in this nine-a-side senior one-day grade.

The team members all had their moments in the sun and team spirit was excellent. They looked the part in their blue tops and caps. Thank you to all the Mums, Dads and caregivers who ventured along to support their daughters on a Saturday. Thursday practices were well-attended and many new skills were learnt. We hope to see all the girls back again next summer, either in the same team or, if appropriate, up a grade.

Team members were: Millie Benton, Bella Carlyle, Paige Constable, Dhana Danthakani, Georgia Frapwell, Jessica Gibson, Phoebe Hawker, Kaori Hughes, Yuki Hughes and Taylor Tait.

With the year being cut short there was no opportunity to have an end-of -season prize-giving but the following girls were awarded (on paper) the following honours: Taylor Tait (batsman of the year), Kaori Hughes (bowler of the year) and Georgia Frapwell (most improved).

We joined forces with the Cathedral Grammar school after Christmas, which saw the club taking the school’s three girls teams under its wing. They played under the banner of Cathedral Grammar/St Albans. We also coached and ran the school’s Year 6 boys team and provided a groundsman for the four school pitches on the North Hagley area known as Nancy’s Corner. A number of other arrangements were agreed to and we thank Cathedral Grammar for their positive embracement of our approach. We hope that this relationship will continue to flourish.

Treasurer’s Report

There is nobody in Christchurch whose life hasn’t been turned upside down by the events of the past nine months. Sports organisations like ours are no exception.

If we want to get back on our feet and rebuild Christchurch as a wonderful place to live we need to take whatever steps we can to bring back “normal” into our lives. To this end your committee intends that for this coming season we provide to you all a full and active season of cricket.

I can report a small surplus for the past year of around $3,000. Our income received a welcome post-quake boost by hiring out our pavilion to Christchurch Star from early March. This year also saw the introduction of a funding scheme from Canterbury Cricket “bulk- funding” many of our coaching, recruitment and development obligations. This arrangement is expected to carry on again this season and beyond.

The season also saw us narrowly escape exclusion from Premier status and only the development of a relationship with Cathedral Grammar School finally provided us with the required number of junior teams, which was needed to meet the proscribed criteria. It was mutually beneficial with us providing coaching and wicket preparation skills and they, in turn, provided us with their girl’s teams playing under our banner. We hope to continue building on this relationship this season.

Nothing will ever be quite the same again and obtaining the necessary funding to operate our club has just become even more difficult so we will need to search out new and innovative sources of income. With your support it will be done and the prospect of a full season of cricket ahead is a goal well worth striving for.

Let’s all get behind the club and make this coming season a special one.

Lindsay Serra TREASURER

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 May 2011

Note 1 - Statement of Accounting Policies St Albans Cricket Club is a non-profit organisation. The financial statements are general purpose and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice.

Unless otherwise stated the accounting principles recognised as appropriate for the measurement and reporting of earnings and financial position on a historical cost basis have been followed.

The entity qualifies for differential reporting because the Club meets the framework for differential reporting as the Club is not publicly accountable and is small. The club has taken advantage of all differential reporting exemptions.

Changes in accounting policies: There have been no changes in accounting policies which have been applied on bases consistent with those used in previous years.

The following specific accounting policies which materially affect the measurement of financial performance and financial position have been applied:

Accounts Receivable are stated at their estimated realisable value. Debts which are considered uncollectible are written off. There is no other provision for doubtful debts. Stock on Hand - Bar Supplies has been valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. Stock on Hand - Balls has been valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. Equipment on Hand has been valued by the Committee.

Sponsorship: Sponsorship for services rendered to the club are accounted for as revenue and expense at values approximating the cost of the service provided.

Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation has been calculated using the rates shown in the Property, Plant and Equipment Schedule (Note 2). Material, Nets and Junior Material have not been depreciated as the committee charges all repairs, maintenance and replacements to expenses.

A mortgage security over the pavilion is held by Westpac Banking Corporation. At 31 May 2011 there were no advances drawn against this security (2010 - nil).

Related Party transactions: The Committee are also members of the Club and pay subscriptions on the same basis as other members. Services provided have been supplied on normal commercial terms.
