I’d like to welcome everyone to what promises to be another amazing season for our great club. It will be my 25th season with the club and my first as Chairman, which I’m extremely excited about. Last year saw some fantastic success with the first team securing promotion and the successful reintroduction of youth cricket at our club. The end of season day was a fantastic way to celebrate that success together and I look forward to 16th September (a date for your diary) when we can do it again!

I’d like to start by thanking some of our outgoing committee members. Cat Stewartson (formerly Jurczenko), Dom Prisco and Matt Prisco have all stepped down their respective roles as Social Secretary, Secretary and Chairman. Between them, they have put in approximately 50 years of combined committee service and they will be on greatly missed. I hope they continue to enjoy our club in the years to come.

Behind the scenes, we’ve had a really busy close season. At the beginning of the year, we found out we were successful in our application for the Get Set Surrey day!

Having joined the club aged 11, I feel a close affinity to our newly reformed Youth teams. It is absolutely fantastic to see our outfield swarmed every Friday with so many youngsters all enjoying our great sport at our club. I look forward to those evenings for the coming season. I’d love to get to know more of you all and will be down most weeks with my daughter who will be doing her second year of All Stars.

If you do have any questions, suggestions or would like to get involved with how we run our great club, please do not hesitate to contact me. Here’s to another great season!
