5th September 2006 - Surrey Champions! Firstly can I wrap up a bit of housekeeping. The September Committee Meeting has been scheduled for 7.30pm on Thursday 14th of this month at the clubhouse. Will everyone who should be there please attend. Now back to the important bit......... What a season! The 1's made it count when they had to and secured promotion back to the Premiership, the 2's romped home at the top of the third division with a margin of 37 points, the Sunday team played far more matches than usual, the Colts Academy went from strength to strength and we got draught Stella at the club! Subject to me still being here after the 'Waldorf and Stadler' caption (joke, guys, joke), I look forward with relish to 2007 - not forgetting the Quiz, Fireworks Night and all other events scheduled before Christmas. This has truly been a truly magnificent season for the A's! The role of honour above falls short of all the other unsung heroes (who know who they are) that sponsor the club, come from lands afar to play/support, come from counties afar to play/support, drive down the A3, keep the ground to county standards (and tell everyone), organise the colts, coach the colts, bring the colts along and support the bar, manage the records, protect the welfare, keep the score, update the stats, organise and play in the Sunday games (if I had a picture you'd be up there guys), take the photos, write the match reports and send them off to the press on Monday mornings, organise and pay for events out of their own pockets, drop 40 pounds to get lean and fit, donate prizes to the auctions, bid for their own donations..... Hi Cavey!
...... feed the teams, manage the accounts, keep the minutes, manage the clubhouse, organise the fixtures, make the teas, serve the drinks, stock the bar, hoover the club, chase the players, collect the lobsters....Hi Lobsters!
.... rent the marquees, buy the port, drink the port....... Hi Matt!
..... collect the leaves, paint the club, take those b***dy wheels of the covers only to put them back on 3 months later, buy 200 club tickets, let off the fireworks, take deliveries, attend off season committee meetings in arctic conditions....... In short, everyone who makes the club the success it is today! Finally a big thank you should be made to all the partners and families who can't work out why a game of cricket lasts from midday until midnight.... and why it has to be every Saturday/Sunday from frost-up to frost-down. To this final group of supporters, we send the biggest thanks. To everyone else that I may have seemed to forget, I didn't....it's just that it's midnight now and I must close. I look forward to seeing everyone at the Fireworks night (date to be announced, so keep reading the updates) and here's to a great 2007! Got to dash now and start preparing my defence for when I'm hauled up in front to El Presidente and Chairman on the 14th. Well done everyone!
