We continued to be very well supported by the County Club, the England & Wales Cricket Board and Chance to Shine as our primary funders, but also by the members of the Company and the stakeholders whom we represent and serve. There was consistency and continuity in our staffing arrangements both in terms of the nonexecutive Directors and the paid employees and thanks are due to the whole team for their continued efforts to serve the game, which often involve long days and busy weekends. Special mention must also be made of the County Welfare Officers, who continue to provide much needed advice and support.

10 Tony Bristow, Coventry & North Warwicks CC won the Birmingham League trophy and Phil Cole, Weoley Hill CC won the Warwickshire Cricket League award. Congratulations go to these groundsmen for their superb efforts and skill in consistently preparing excellent wickets. Alan Lewis speech after the awards was superb and covered the need for groundsmen to take the guesswork out of preparation by utilising PQS reports, core samples and soil testing etc as well as touching on smart rolling, spiking, fraise mowing, profiles, layers, grasses, thatch, fibres, fairy rings and worms to name but a few of the topics. Many thanks to Alan for giving the WGA his invaluable time, well done to the winners and many thanks to the following clubs who were represented: Berkswell, Weoley Hill, Coventry & NW, K&D, Kenilworth, Kenilworth Wardens, Stratford-upon- Avon, Moseley, Wellesbourne, Standard, Stoneleigh and Olton & West Warwicks. Later in the year we had a highly informative talk given by Kevin Duffil from the IOG, thank you to Kevin for that and to Ian Maddocks in particular for his efforts in keeping the WGA going. District Cricket The move from six to four districts has been positive with the concentration of playing and coaching talent. We are grateful for the large number of clubs who accommodated the summer matches and to Bablake, King Edward s and Warwick Schools who, once again, hosted the half term festivals admirably. Coach Education There were a lot of L2 and Coach Support Worker courses put on this year. This included a Professional Cricketers course, a South Asia course, some big club CSWs such as Dorridge CC sending 30 candidates and in general terms the qualification of many very promising coaches The successful programme grows in 2017 as we have entered into a partnership with Worcestershire Cricket Board to administer their courses. Community Programmes WCB was pleased to be a significant part of Warwickshire CCC s Community Engagement Award at the ECB s Business of Cricket Awards (BOCA) in WCB assisted the club in the formulation and delivery in a number of the recognised reasons for the awards such as the Selco Great Bat Giveway, the Deloitte Cricket Integration Festival, South Asian engagement and Cricket Development, League finals and the free Friday coaching. WCB Incrediball Indoor Cricket proved to be as popular as ever with leagues in Birmingham and Coventry. WCB also continued to deliver a large Chance to Shine Street programme in Birmingham and launched the Coventry programme with Eoin Morgan at an event at Sidney Stringer Academy.
