Both on and off the field our member clubs and the League Management Committee are working well together, to try and tackle the many challenges and issues grass roots cricket faces in today’s competing landscape. Here are some of things we are doing in our league: • Attracting more scorers – by establishing a Scorers Sub-committee and starting a new TVL education programme • Improving the quality of player umpires – through a new TVL education programme • Introducing a shorter (90 Over) format at lower levels – Div 8 and below • Financially incentivising member clubs to improve administration and player discipline – via the TVL Respect for Your League Award • We have established a new IT Sub-committee to look at how the TVL might use technology to make match day administration and our results service easier. • We are working more closely with other local leagues, County Boards and other cricketing bodies. • We are supporting SOS Kit Aid and promoting this very worthy cause to all member clubs. Please visit www.lvsoskitaid.com for more information. I would urge you all to “come to the party”, to support these initiatives (and others) to ensure participation in and running of the TVL is enjoyable for all. A historic decision was made by member clubs at the 2012 AGM when you voted for a £25 subscription per season per team. Since the league started (over 40 years ago) the subscription levy has been zero but this decision will no doubt significantly help the financial stability and sustainability of our league. I commend our member clubs for this. Looking back at 2012 - the greatest summer of sport this country has ever seen - the TVL also played its part. Congratulations to Champions Reading, who bounced straight back into the HCPL structure. For the first time in many years there were no TVL sides relegated from the HCPL and with the resignation of one of our founder clubs Basingstoke & North Hants CC and also Odiham & Greywell (who both leave with our very best wishes) I don’t think the league constitution and format has ever been so heavily read so as to understand how the final promotion and relegation outcomes would be determined! 4 Other Divisional Winners to be acknowledged are: Datchet, Chesham, Aldershot, Tring Park 2, Beaconsfield 2, Kew 2, Sonning 2, Thatcham Town 2, Royal Ascot 2, Wokingham 3, Farnham Royal 3, Barnes Wild Geese, Aldershot 3, Finchampstead 4, Datchet Cranbourne, Hillingdon Manor 3. Record numbers (232) attended the 2012 End of Season Dinner, once again expertly hosted by British Airways CC, where England Selector Geoff Miller handed out the awards and enthralled us with his wit and enthusiasm for tales from his career (past and present) and his passion for the game. Hurst won the inaugural Respect for Your League Award and received a cheque for £1,000 from sponsors Morrant. Unquestionably our best dinner ever so many thanks to all those who attended or had any part in its organisation. The Dinner is a celebration of another season of TVL cricket it is not just for those clubs or individuals who have won something. I hope to see many more of you there this year. After 19 years service as one of our valued Results Secretaries, at the age of 82, Joe Dawson finally decided he should retire. On behalf of so many people over so many years I thank you Joe for your outstanding dedication and service to the TVL. In place of Joe we welcome Vic Devers (Harefield) to the results team. Amongst all that I forgot how wet 2012 was – a special mention therefore for all the grounds staff out there!! As always, thanks to our members clubs (your officers, staff and volunteers), to you the players, your Captains, your scorers and those who stand on our Umpires panel. Thank you to our sponsors Morrant Group for their continued investment and support. To those who voluntarily serve (on behalf of member clubs) on our management committees to ensure we run an efficient, effective, vibrant and sustainable league – the biggest THANK YOU. Finally, I would like to warmly welcome Wargrave CC who join us this year and to wish you all an enjoyable and successful 2013 season – played at all times within the Laws and Spirit of Cricket. Jeremy Davis – TVCL Chairman 5 THE LAWS OF CRICKET THE PREAMBLE – THE SPIRIT OF CRICKET Cricket is a game that owes much of its unique appeal to the fact that it should be played not only within its Laws but also within the Spirit of the Game. Any action, which is seen to abuse this spirit, causes injury to the game itself. The major responsibility for ensuring the spirit of fair play rests with the Captains. There are two Laws that place the responsibility for a team’s conduct firmly on the Captain. Responsibility of Captains – The Captains are responsible at all times for ensuring that play is conducted within the Spirit of the Game as well as within the Laws. Players’ Conduct – In the event of a player failing to comply with instructions by an Umpire or criticising by word or action the decisions of an Umpire, or showing dissent, or generally behaving in a manner which might bring the game into disrepute, the Umpire concerned shall in the first place report the matter to the other Umpire and to the player’s Captain, and instruct the latter to take action.

    Peppard Ward Independent News Putting People First! Why Independent? Cllr Mark Ralph responds: “When I was first asked to stand for election as a Conservative Councillor in 2004, I did so on the basis that I would not compromise my personal principles.” “Jamie Chowdhary’s deselection and the subsequent vendetta against him by those within Reading East Conservative Association was a disgrace. In-fighting and internal politics were already impeding Conservative Councillors’ ability to serve their residents and the behaviour of the Association’s leadership towards Jamie was such that it was no longer an organisation that I wished to belong to.” Other Conservative Councillors left the Association too but have since crept back, no doubt hoping that no one will notice! Mark says: “As a Ward Councillor, I have always followed the principle of ‘People First, Politics Second’ and in addition to people’s day to day concerns, I am now freer to focus on those things that my residents tell me matter most: quality services, safer communities, support for older residents and vulnerable children, protection of the environment, good schools, more school places, and better value for money for the Council Taxpayer.” Thank You!

It is an area of private and mostly up-market housing, running north from the Thames into the foothills of the Chilterns along the Woodcote Road, Kidmore Road and Hemdean Road. Mapledurham ward comprises, in the south, Caversham Heights; and to the north that part of Mapledurham parish which transferred to Reading Borough from Oxfordshire in 1977. Mapledurham village is still in South Oxfordshire, some miles away. The Working Party has proposed moving Thames WB into ward C, to achieve electoral equality. This area had previously been in Caversham ward, and was moved into Thames by the 2001/02 review. The Working Party has also proposed transferring the NW part of Peppard V into ward A.

    VCH Oxfordshire • Texts in Progress • Caversham (August 2019) • © VCH Oxfordshire • Economic Hist. • p. 1 VCH Oxfordshire Texts in Progress Caversham Economic History Until the mid 19th century Caversham’s economy was based on mixed farming, woodland exploitation, and milling and other rural crafts, with neighbouring Reading providing a ready market from the Middle Ages onwards. From c.1850, as Reading expanded following the arrival of the railway, Caversham’s southern part developed larger-scale manufacturing, retail, and service businesses, as well as becoming a dormitory for working- and middle- class incomers employed in Reading itself. By 1908 such people made up around half of the parish’s total population. Industry declined in the mid 20th century, although a moderately successful retail and service sector continued in the early 21st. The Agricultural Landscape Like its neighbours the parish extended from the Thames into the Chiltern foothills, giving access to a typical mixture of meadows, open-field arable, closes, and coppice woods. Meadowland was concentrated on low-lying ground close to the river, while the main open fields, well established by the late 12th century1 and enclosed in the 1830s, surrounded Caversham and Lower Caversham immediately to the north.2 Amongst the larger fields were Hemdean, Balmer and West field, with Borough and Grove fields further east.3 The field name ‘Breach’ suggests medieval expansion of cultivation in the far south-east, although from c.1200 expansion north of there was restricted by the presence of a deer park.4 The somewhat less fertile central and northern parts of the parish were characterized by early enclosure,5 though still intermixed, in the 16th century, with numerous mainly small open fields, of which all except Lye field were enclosed before 1834.6 Medieval and later woodland was concentrated in the north and east, though much clearance had taken place by the 18th century.

    VCH Oxfordshire • Texts in Progress • Caversham (August 2019) • © VCH Oxfordshire • Social Hist. • p. 1 VCH Oxfordshire Texts in Progress Caversham Social History Social Character and Communal Life Caversham’s population was long split between the main settlements of Caversham and Lower Caversham in the south (which had ready access to the trading and social opportunities offered by neighbouring Reading), and the small scattered hamlets and farmsteads of the parish’s central and northern parts. Manor houses in the south-east (latterly in Caversham Park) were intermittently occupied by high-status resident lords from the Middle Ages onwards, but landownership became increasingly divided, and by the 18th century the riverside settlements were relatively ‘open’, with strong outside links and (by the 19th century) marked religious Nonconformity. Major residential development in the late 19th and early 20th century turned Caversham, Lower Caversham and (later) Emmer Green into suburbs of Reading both socially and administratively, while the northern upland areas remained rural. The Middle Ages During the Middle Ages Caversham manor was held by a succession of leading aristocrats of mainly comital rank and above, including the earls of Pembroke and Warwick. William Marshal (1146/7--1219), regent of England from 1216, chose Caversham as one of his main residences, and his generous endowment of the shrine and chapel there may have been part of a larger investment in the manor house, which stood close to the Thames.1 William kept a huntsman at Caversham,2 and either maintained or created the deer park, which was stocked with ten does in 1223.3 Free warren (the right to small game) was enjoyed as ‘of old’.4 Later lords maintained the house, which saw sporadic royal visits from Henry III,5 Edward I,6 and Edward II.7 Caversham was one of Margaret de Lacy’s regular residences 1 Above, landownership; for chapel, below, relig.
