4 ABOUT THAME TOWN CRICKET CLUB Thame Town CC is a well established cricket club in the County of Oxfordshire. Situated in the centre of the historic market town of Thame, the Club enjoys a picturesque setting at Church Meadow. The club was founded in 1874 and organised cricket has been played in the town since this date, with suspensions in and The Club moved to Church Meadow in 1975, taking a lease from Oxfordshire County Council and created the cricket ground and pavilion from scratch from the existing low-grade agricultural land and derelict farm buildings. The Club caters for serious, committed and competitive adult and youth cricketers as well as those who enjoy only the occasional game. The 1st XI currently plays in the Counties Premier and the 2nds and 3rds in the Cherwell. It fields three adult teams on s and one for certain Sunday friendlies, plus a T20 team in midweek. As for junior cricket, we currently run teams at 4 agegroups in Oxfordshire and Bucks leagues, plus a number of friendlies. Last but not least, we are organising friendly matches for the Women s team this season. The Club is accredited to Clubmark and is recognised by the England and Wales Cricket Board as one of four Focus Clubs in South Oxfordshire, by virtue of its standards, youth coaching programmes, Clubmark status and its links with Lord Williams s School.

5 CHAIRMAN S MESSAGE - looking back at 2016 In their first season back in the Counties Premier (HCPL) for some time, the 1st XI consolidated their place. Well done to Mike Higgs and the squad for keeping us all captivated for the entire season! Our place in the HCPL allows us to offer an attractive player pathway into county cricket and we will continue to make significant investment in this area. We welcome Mike Beard and Will Rooney as Captain and Vice-Captain this season. Good luck to both. Chris Jeffers Jeffcock debut as 2nd XI skipper saw his team win Cherwell s Division 5 in 2016, with just a single defeat. Matt Furness will take over this season and continue with our aim to close the gap of divisions between 2nd and 1st XI. Thanks again to Chris and the 2nd XI for their huge efforts last year. Vim Desai and John Phippen led our 3rd XI to 2nd place in Division 9 North, narrowly missing out on top spot, with a superb blend of youth and experience. Promotion this season is one of the club s strategic priorities as we strive hard to offer more opportunity for juniors to play adult cricket and to enter a 4th XI into the league by Our Women s section made excellent progress in 2016, as they developed their hard-ball cricket skills. Recruiting more female members and organising friendly matches are on the cards for this season, during a year when the Women s world cup will be in the UK. Thanks to Sheena for all her hard work. Our Junior section continued to thrive during 2016 with growth in membership and a highlysuccessful Kwik Cricket tournament for 6 local primary schools. The junior section is another strategic priority in which we will invest, as we train more coaches and recruit team managers. After many years of junior team management, Ian McStay will be standing down, while continuing to help with coaching. We would like to thank him for his outstanding contribution to the club s junior section. John Phippen will also be winding down from his coaching and team management of the U17s - thanks also to him for all his hard work and dedication. The new clubhouse development has made significant progress with planning approval and major grant funding. The next few months will be crucial as we look to secure the remaining funds required to start building in September. Bricks are still available to purchase if you would like your name up on the wall of fame! Angus Lachlan announced at the AGM that he would be standing down as Chairman. Angus has held the position for 10 years, succeeding acting-chairman Rob Brooks following the untimely death of the previous Chairman John Fulkes in On behalf of the club and committee, I would like to thank Angus for his enormous contributions over the years. Angus will remain on the committee as Vice- Chair and will remain very much involved in the club, especially in the clubhouse development project. I would also like to thank all our Life Presidents and Vice-Presidents, noting with great sadness the passing of Colin Britnell and Lt. Col. John Connelly earlier this year. We have another exciting year ahead in 2017, with a number of new developments and I hope everyone will enjoy all that the club has to offer. Matt Swain Chairman, Thame Town Cricket Club 5

6 NEW FOR 2017 New Sponsors We are delighted to welcome and thank J Bennett & Son insurance brokers, who now join Mobalpa as one of two principal club sponsors. Without the support of such local businesses, the club wouldn t be able to progress at the speed with which we have in recent years. Please contact Mark Nicholl at J Bennett & Son for all your company s insurance needs! We also welcome our new fixture book sponsors - XT Brewing, Massage Matters, Robert Stanley Optician s, Mark Fellowes, Russett Jones and Helpful Hirings. Thanks to Block9 for their patience in the printing process and to Sam Lachlan, Guy Holmes and Charley Smith for the various design work. Committee, Coaches & Team Managers As we continue to develop the playing side of the club, alongside the new clubhouse project, we are pleased to welcome a number of people to the committee and coaching staff, who will help run our ever-growing and diversifying range of cricket activities. Joe Phippen joins as Fixture Secretary, in addition to his excellent work on our Website and Social Media presence. Mike Higgs joins as Director of Cricket, a new committee role we have introduced with the aim of implementing and being responsible for our objectives for cricket development. Paddy Harris formally joins our Junior section training body, working with Angus Lachlan and John Patey in the U9 age group, while Roger Fenwick joins our U13 age group alongside Richard Carr, as a team manager in this very popular age group. Will Sutcliffe will also support Mike Higgs in championing our junior player pathway to the adult XIs and will support the junior section with mentoring, coaching and team management. I am hugely grateful to everyone who has stepped forward and volunteered to help us this season. We are always looking for more people to get involved in the club to help us continue to progress at pace. Girls Cricket Academy This Summer there is a very exciting opportunity for girls in Oxfordshire. Lydia Greenway (ex-england international) is bringing her cricket academy, Cricket for Girls, to Thame Town CC.
