Record number of old Bores join 2008 committee

Only kidding. Clarky's on it. It must be fun.

There have been a few changes to the committee in preparation for possibly the most exciting season of Wick cricket ever. Since the 2s got promoted. And the 1s were champions...

Sadly AJ has relinquished the Fixtures Sec job after, it is reported, the 1s travelled to Mars only to find it uninhabited with no strips prepared (the picture shows Matti's car parked where the SATNav said the pavillion would be). The journey took only marginally less time than a round trip to Barnet with MS at the wheel, or so I am told. Lownsy has stepped manfully into the breach and has also now been promoted to Social Secretary Second Class (Order of the Corona) to work alongside Hibby who continues to demonstrate his legendary delegation skills.

With the thirds entering the Fullers League next season, James Lloyd has been elected 3s skipper. We wish him the best of luck in building on the enthusiasm of last year's friendly foray into league opposition territory.

Jimmy C, self styled as Wickman Jr, has taken perhaps the most difficult job in the club in becoming Sunday Skipper for 2008. Rumour has it he bounced a 12 year old last year so we're expecting competitive cricket there and more difficulty than ever for the 2009 Fixtures Secretary in securing games.

Alan Carter has agreed to be Crossbats liaison for 2008 which will be a brilliant move. Coley is doin a bit too. Cransey (or Poacher turned gamekeeper) has agreed to take on the bar. Keith thinks this means he'll be running it, but Wickman fears that he actually meant he was going to drink it dry over the close season...

Matti D and Fudgey remain as 1s and 2s skippers, Keith is Chair and Treasurer, Clarky is Secretary and Bobby is still "Il Presidente de la Republica de la Wick". Julian as ever quietly goes about the business of league repping.

Joking aside last year Herculanean efforts were put in to Year 3 of the revitalisation of the club. Many good things were acheived. A real sense of purpose and achievement so Wickman salutes everyone who gave so much unheralded time and dedication to making the club a success via the committee.
