Yorkshire Cricket Board YORKSHIRE CRICKET BOARD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FEBRUARY 2016 1 REPORT OF THE YORKSHIRE CRICKET BOARD 2015 Executive Summary Introduction 2015 will again go down as another year of change in Yorkshire Cricket and in particular for the Yorkshire Cricket Board. Mark Arthur and Andrew Watson continue to work very closely as we all move forward into the “Yorkshire Cricket” branding. Andrew is now on some YCCC committees and is in attendance at the YCF Trustees meeting. Mark is now on the YCB Board of Directors, the Yorkshire Cricket Pyramid League Management Board and the Women’s Sub- committee. The partnership between them is extremely strong and we both have full and total commitment, inclusion and operate an open door policy. The YCB, YCCC and YCF are now in effect departments of Yorkshire Cricket with all staff assisting each other. Communication, help, support and resources are available across the Yorkshire Cricket family. Two significant changes will occur in 2016. Firstly Paul Hudson and Chris Thomson from YCCC will be in charge and will oversee the YCB Finances. They already oversee YCCC and YCF finances. Secondly, the YCB will be moving offices in March 2016. They will be joining the County Club in their ground floor offices in the Carnegie Pavilion. Contact details will be circulated in due course. The YCB have 8 Directors and they make the decisions and oversee specific areas of work. Philip Radcliffe (Chair), Albert Pattison (Vice Chair), Ian Cotterhill, Mark Arthur (YCCC CEO), Chris West, Jane Hildreth, Umar Rafiq and Andrew Watson (Executive Director) are the current directors. The Board of Directors have considered a wide range of issues including new Yorkshire Cricket structure and ECB initiatives and all areas. Once again all decisions have been unanimous. The General Members of the Yorkshire Cricket Board have met on three occasions with the Board of Directors meeting every 2 months. However, the report must formally commence with tributes to those people who have sadly passed away since the last report. YCB Honorary Life Member Philip Akroyd sadly died on 5th January aged 80. Philip joined the Yorkshire Cricket Association Council in 1984 and remained on it until 2003. He was the first representative from Yorkshire County Cricket Club whom he represented 1984-94 and 1997-2001. In 1995 he represented the Coaches Association and in 2002-03 he represented the Joe Lumb and Lord Taverners Festival competitions at YCA/YCB. When the Yorkshire Cricket Board was formed in mid-1996 he served on it as County Club representative again. He was a key figure in linking the YCA, YCCC and leagues together in those far off early days. The YCB were saddened to learn that Mike Turner MBE had passed away. Mike had a long and distinguished association with Leicestershire CCC as a player, club secretary and latterly as Chief Executive covering 47 years, during which he signed Raymond Illingworth and the young David Gower. He was also a very well-known and a highly respected figure within the recreational game and had served ECB in a consultancy role since 1997. He gave much support to the Board, in particular to Andrew Watson, with the first round of Community Club Development Funding in 2003 where he supported 26 Yorkshire clubs in gaining facility upgrades. Andrew and Mike remained firm friends. Both the Halifax and Bradford cricket communities were in shock in November 2015 after the death, at the age of 50, of Copley Cricket Club’s Steve Priestley, following a short battle with cancer. Steve, known to everyone as “Chick-pea”, was well regarded in the Halifax Cricket League having been one of the area’s most accomplished wicket-keepers during the last twenty years. 2 Peter Milne passed away on 14th January, aged 69. Peter was the backbone of Londesborough Park Cricket Club for many years, acting as club secretary for more than 40 years. There is no doubt that without Peter’s vision, determination, and strength, Londesborough Park Cricket Club would not be in the strong position as it is today. David Todd suddenly passed away during the year. David was the Yorkshire Over 60’s Manager and will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him. We have also lost two of Yorkshire’s greats in Bob Appleyard and of course Brian Close whose ability, fearless courage and captaincy during the halcyon days of the 60’s made him a true Yorkshire Legend. Who could ever forget Brian facing the might of the West Indies in 1976 without a helmet? Full obituary tributes are in the 2016 handbook. Tributes During the year Martin Freeman, Tas Malik and Scott Cunningham left their Community Coach posts. We are sorry to lose them, but we thank them so much for all their hard work and their service to Yorkshire Cricket and wish them well for the future. Bren Terry and Richard Horner, two of our most senior and respected coaches stepped down from their coaching and tutoring roles. We sincerely thank them for their work spanning 3 decades. Due to a change in work commitments Ian Hales has had to stand down as Chairman of the YCBCA, Coach Education Committee and the ECB Regional CA. We thank him for all his work and commitment to coaching and coach education over many years. His work at club level continues. We also lost the services of John Jennings during the year and we would like to thank him for all his work and support in the Scarborough area over many years. Yorkshire Cricket are indebted to the work of Nick Marriner who leaves ECB shortly after the best part of 20 years of committed and unwavering service to the game. Nick officially came into the game in 1997. Since then the recreational game has developed in so many ways and Nick should be extremely proud of the significant contribution he has made. To name but a few: Nick lead the creation of the County Cricket Board network and their development into independent high performing organisations that provide a framework for the recreational game to drive and support our clubs and he was at the forefront of FOUR whole sport plans that have bought considerable investment to the game and delivered legacy outcomes that will provide the strong platform for our up-coming growth agenda. In recent years, the success of the Network Support and Improvement Team (Business Support Managers) and his leadership of them, has been heralded as a best practice initiative that will be the basis of our new regional structure. His work on player insights as part of the Eureka! Campaign is genuinely global best practice from a cricket perspective, and according to Sport England, leads the way in sport in this country. I would just like to place on record my very grateful thanks for his help, support and encouragement that he has given the YCB and to me personally over the years. Finally a tribute goes to the Development Staff and Administration Staff who have handled an extraordinary workload this year and borne the brunt not just of orchestrating the normal YCB development programmes, but also the main part of the planning process which has been long and very time-consuming especially Adult Player Retention, League Engagement, Disability, South Asian project and the Chance to Shine scheme. Overall this report follows previous year’s patterns with the reports of Sub-Committees, Forums, Working Parties and Area Cricket Councils following along with other County Associations. 3 Structure of the Board The General Members of the Board who meet 3 times a year are: John Jennings (until his resignation), Martin Kingston, Ian Livesey, Brian Lymbery, Stephen Pickles, (all representing YCB Council and recreational cricket), David Ryder, Mark Arthur, Andy Dawson (Yorkshire CCC), Dale Kerruish (Coach Ed and Membership Services), Glyn Pearson (YCBACO), Richard Jones (Women’s Cricket) and Keith Dickson (for Yorkshire Schools) and the Directors. The YCB Council (for Leagues, Area Councils and CDGs) has five Area Councils as members with each aligned to a County Sport Partnership area. Due to their size North Yorkshire also have East and West sub-divisions. The Council nominates the five members as General Members of the Board to represent the needs of recreational cricket. It has also been decided that there will continue to be an annual meeting of Leagues etc to place the Board Annual report before them for discussion and questions and to provide information with presentations. England and Wales Cricket Board The ECB National Strategy for Cricket was agreed between ECB and Sport England and the Memorandum of Understanding was signed in 2013. As indicated below this has created ring-fenced funding for Adult Player Retention and Disability programmes and with funding for South Asia projects in both Leeds and Bradford. A new ECB Strategy is currently being developed following the appointment of the new ECB Participation Director, Matt Dwyer. Funding The Board is very grateful to the ECB Trust, The Yorkshire Cricket Foundation, Chance to Shine, Sport England for their support. The Board is also very grateful to Yorkshire CCC Charitable Youth Trust for a further £10,000 and for other donations to help fund core activities and school visits. Staffing and New Appointments Due to the changes in Chance to Shine, we have taken an early opportunity to change the job title of Community Coaches to that of Community Cricket Officers. James Martin has been appointed Community Cricket Officer for East Yorkshire and replaces Martin Freeman. The other new Community Officer appointment is Alex Murphy who replaces Tas Malik (Halifax/Huddersfield). We also welcome Dale Kerruish and Kevin Gresham to the staff.

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

  • Wisden Review
    Schools Cricket in 2017 SCHOOLS CRICKET IN 2017 REVIEW BY DOUGLAS HENDERSON For the first time, Wisden’s schools averages include Twenty20 matches. Some see this as a step too far, as though equating a song from a musical with a three-act opera. Others welcome an acceptance of what, especially for smaller schools, is the reality: that many, or most, fixtures are 20-over games. Even in some larger schools with a strong cricket pedigree, the pressure to perform in academic league tables – whatever happened to the idea of a good all-round, liberal education? – has endangered all-day games. Saturdays used to offer a bastion, but more and more have become 35-over affairs. It remains quite possible to fit two 40-over innings into an afternoon, yet young players see so much faffing about from the professionals that 20 an hour (built into the regulations for the last 60 minutes of a declaration game) seems almost laughable. Another consequence of the relentless drive for examination success is that schools can struggle to field their strongest XI; some masters are forced to resort to complex spreadsheets of player availability, even for weekend matches. Douglas, are you happy with this musical/opera image? If exams – and the pressure they exert – remain the biggest headache for those in charge of schools cricket, there are welcome signs of an analgesic. A-level grades are now determined by one set of final exams, rather than two. The fact that papers taken in Year 12 no longer count towards the final mark should, in theory, allow greater participation.

I will therefore go no further than cautiously suggesting that so far (and this is writing in the immediate aftermath of the superb win against Surrey), in the County Championship at least, there has been some progress.

  • Yorkshire Cricket Board
    YORKSHIRE CRICKET BOARD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FEBRUARY 2015 1 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE YORKSHIRE CRICKET BOARD, 2014 Executive Summary 2014 will no doubt go down in the annals of history as the year of major change in Yorkshire Cricket and in particular for the Yorkshire Cricket Board. Ian Chappell (Chief Executive) retired on 31st March 2014 after a long and very distinguished service of 30 years for the Yorkshire Cricket Association and of course the Yorkshire Cricket Board. Tributes and presentations have been presented to Ian who also won the Lifetime Achievers Award at the YCB OSCAs for 2014. Further tributes will be made in the handbook. Ian’s departure has obviously left a void and four people have now picked up the work Ian had religiously done for many years. Andrew Watson has now become Executive Director of YCB. The YCB now have 8 Directors and will oversee the areas of work. Mark Arthur (YCCC CEO), Chris West (NYSD League), Jane Hildreth and Umar Rafiq have joined the existing directors, Philip Radcliffe (Chair), Albert Pattison (Vice Chair), Ian Cotterhill and Andrew Watson (Executive Director). Yorkshire Cricket During the last year Mark Arthur, David Gent (Chair of the YCF) and Andrew Watson have worked together so successfully to enable open dialogue, and mutual trust, that we have established “Yorkshire Cricket”. By starting to share human resources and back-office work, joint services and programmes are evolving through the very close day-to-day working relationship the Board has with the County Club and the Yorkshire Cricket Foundation at all levels.
