LIFE MEMBERS (WOMEN) Mesdames R Martin, T McDonald, P Quickenden, P Carrick PRESIDENTS REPORT It is my pleasure to present the 124th Annual Report to the members of the Sydenham Cricket Club. It is significant to note that next year is our 125th Year in existence, and this time next year, planning will be well underway for our 125 year celebrations. More on that event later, but suffice to say, we intend to celebrate that momentous occasion in style. Looking back on our year I think we can feel satisfied with the season. I know our Afternoon grade teams acquitted themselves well, and in particularly our 6th Grade Cardinals who won their grade and Jon Bennett’s Goats who won the round robin section in Div Four. We are seeing player growth in our Women’s section, and it is particularly pleasing to see both growth in player numbers and team performances in our Youth Section. We fully expect to field two more additional teams when their competition resumes in October. Our Morning Grade cricketers achieved mixed results, and with the reality of promotion/relegation in these grades, the pressure is on to remain competitive and avoid relegation. Regrettably it appears our Division one side did not score enough points to be promoted into the Championship grade, and this is clearly an issue for our club as it does not provide an ideal pathway for our talented youth players who aspire to Premier Cricket, nor does it give us an ability to entice new promising players into our club. So with all of this apparent to us, much work has gone on during the Winter to ensure we are best placed to be competitive in our two top teams. To that extent I am delighted to advise the Mathew Bell (ex Black Cap, and current NZC contracted coach) has been appointed head coach of the Men’s Premier Squad. Chris Harris has advised the committee that he wishes to step back from front line duties and probably just play white ball cricket. We owe Harry a huge debt of gratitude as a player, a coach and a cricket ambassador for our club, and still he wants to keep playing at 50 years of age! However with Harry wanting to step back, I am delighted to announce that Tim Johnstone has been appointed Captain of the Premier team in all three playing formats. Toby Mowatt from the Northern Lancashire Leagues will be joining us as a specialist opening batter and there could well be another signing or two as we shore up the playing strength and numbers in our top two men's teams. Bill Nicholson has taken on the role of Convenor of Selectors he will be ably assisted by Kevin Congdon with input from TJ and Matt Bell. The Premier Women have been busy in the off season also. Under the very capable stewardship of Linda Pettigrew they have been involved in winter coaching programmes with specialist coaches such as Amy Satherwaite and Nicky Turner and Katrina Keenan, and I am assured we will be a very competitive group this upcoming season. The challenges of growing a sustainable cricket club remain, and the biggest hurdle is funding. I can assure our members that your committee is working very hard at ways in which we create multiple income streams into our club. I hope to make further announcements on this as we move into the season. Further, the committee is very conscious of the need to balance our subscription revenue against fees charged by other clubs, but whilst ensuring that the subscription income does make a meaningful contribution to our income line. We are also deeply indebted and appreciative of the support we receive from our community funding agencies and we work very hard to demonstrate to them that their contributions are vital in our desire to grow our player base and the quality of our facilities. Our sincere thanks to Southern community Trust Pub Charity Air Rescue New Zealand Community Trust Rata Foundation We also wish to acknowledge the financial support we receive from Christchurch Metro Cricket Sport Canterbury - and also our other funding supporters The Birdwood café and Pizzeria Harris Family trust Banfields Butchery Swanndri The Experience Group Kiwi Rail International Antarctic Centre Koha Fitness Basic Bikes St Martins New World. Finally and again, I must give thanks to my committee. To all of you I offer my heartfelt thanks for the work you do to make this club the successful club that it is. I can assure all of our members that having a stable and committed management team is a huge plus in embracing the many challenges we face. I am particularly pleased that our current committee offer themselves for re- election and that is a further endorsement of the faith your committee have in our journey ahead to grow our club in players and facilities. Do not let this dissuade any one of you in putting your name forward to join us at the committee table. We have much to do and you would be very welcome! Finally on behalf of your committee, it is my pleasure to present to you the 124th Annual Report and Financial statement for your consideration. Graham Harris President CLUB CAPTAINS REPORT It was a pleasing end to the season for the club with several outstanding team and individual efforts on the final day. The Div 6 Cardinals won their final on Sydenham Park to go along with their first placing in the round robin competition. The Div 4 Goats wrapped up their season with a third placing in the finals after winning the round robin competition. The Prem Women won there playoff match to finish 3rd in the one day competition. Well done to all the other teams for their efforts over the season. Special mention to the Div 8 Tamil team who in only their second season of playing club cricket (and this year playing 40 over comp) showed they have the ability to play at this level with some good wins thru the season. Individual highlights on the last day included Chad and Ryan for the Prem Men both getting unbeaten centuries and Chidambaram Palaniappan for the Tamils getting the clubs best bowling figures for the season with 7 for 9. The last day of the season saw five more trophies for batting and bowling for individual efforts. Always an interesting time of the year when sorting trophies with these last minute achievements. And a good turnout at the prize giving with all sides being represented even with the winter sports code under way. It was good to be back on Sydenham Park this season and I think everyone certainly enjoyed that opportunity to play again on the park. And this showed at the bar with good turnouts after the games. Social events were reasonably well supported thru out the season. Everything from Bert's quiz nights thru to the end of season golf day which provides some exciting moments throughout the day. Would be great if we can get more members to these events in the coming season. This year the senior club increased in size to 17 teams with the youth teams now under the club banner. Exciting times ahead with the youth talent coming thru both in the men's and women's ranks. Like other years it was great to see these youth players putting there hands up to play in mens/womens teams when they had no youth cricket and being embraced by the club teams. A big thanks to all the captains for their hard work over the season supporting the club, from getting teams on the field, supporting social events, and to ensuring club stats were kept up to date. A special thanks to Maria Lankeshwar for all her hard work with the women's section. She has finished coaching with the senior club this last season to concentrate her efforts in the junior club. Also thanks to the committee and helpers for all their hard work over the season. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes to keep the club up and running especially with the size of our club. Remember to stay up to date with the club scene on the club website and Facebook. Have a great winter and look forward to seeing you all back next season.

The visit was the first by a senior Kuwaiti official since the Palestinian Authority was created two decades ago. The talks focused on the means of cementing bilateral relations, with Sheikh Sabah Al- Khaled delivering a written message by HH the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah to Abbas. The two sides also inked an agreement and a memo- randum of understanding (MoU) on political cooperation. The agreement and MoU were signed by Sheikh Sabah Al- Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah and his Palestinian counter- part Riyad Al-Malki in the presence of Abbas. The agree- ment stipulates the creation of a joint committee for polit- ical cooperation between the two governments and the MoU stipulates political consultation between Kuwaiti and Palestinian foreign ministries. Later, in a joint press conference with Malki, Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled said: “I delivered a written message from His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah to president Abbas focusing on cementing ties and exchanging views on regional issues in the region.” “As Kuwait heads the Arab Summit and the committee that follows up the Arab peace initiative, it is important to coordinate and consult with President Abbas on the upcoming steps,” the minister told reporters.
