Chairman's report At the beginning of the 2002/2003 season the new committee set as its main mission the return of the club to a pre-eminent position in Christchurch cricket by the year of our Centenary in 2005. The timing of this objective was made even more critical by the fact that Canterbury Cricket Association had on its agenda a radical proposal for the "regionalisation" of Club and District cricket within Canterbury. It was planned to implement this proposal for the 2003/2004 season and would see the possible relegation of three senior CCA Clubs to a second tier competition. The CCA proposed competition was discussed at the May CCA Board meeting, and the following competition approved for introduction for the 2004/2005 season:- 1) A 6 team "Premier 1" competition of 6 CCA clubs, 2) A 10 team "Premier 2" competition consisting of 3 CCA clubs & the 7 Suburban clubs, 3) Promotion/relegation between the two "Premier" competitions, 4) Two separate 1 day competitions; (i) The 9 CCA clubs, plus Canterbury Country, (ii) The 7 Suburban clubs. The qualification criteria for the above competitions are to be discussed at a CCA forum .on 1 August, with three representatives from each Club attending. We will keep you posted on developments relating to this important issue. A big vote of thanks must go the Chairman of five main sub-committees for their very high level of time commitment and personal sacrifice in the overall interests of the Club. Their individual reports clearly outline their many achievements. They are:- Brian Hastings (Grounds and Clubrooms) John Thompson (Sponsorship & Fundraising) Ashley Taggart (Senior Cricket) Ross Brown (Junior Cricket) Paul O'Grady (Finance/Treasurer) It is most pleasing to report that many changes to the club and club structure have been successfully implemented throughout the season. These changes have put in place the fundamental building blocks for the achievement of our main objective. All committee members responded tremendously to their specific tasks, many thanks to you all for a job well done.
