| Congratulations .....New! |
|
..... and thanks to Tim Pendered who has single-handedly designed and constructed a new sight screen for the Common End. It is 20cms higher than the existing so that batters can see balls out of the hands of tall bowlers (could be a disadvantage!). One of the other existing sight screens will be extended by 20cms to match. Tim’s magnificent effort has cost about £800 in materials and saved the Club almost a 4 figure sum from not having to purchase new. We are all most grateful to Tim

| Club StructureNew! |
|
Attached is the new Club structure for this year with names of the Group Leaders. There are several vacancies for leadership positions temporarily being covered by Owen and Simon such as Events, Cricket Kit and Fund Raising, and there are more members required in the Action Groups. We would like to see more players volunteering to do a little bit to help the smooth functioning of the Club. So please let the group leaders or Owen know if you are willing to do a little to help with any of the functions listed. With only 3 weeks to go to the season, this is the time to be putting your name forward. Best of luck for the new season.

| Waitrose AppealNew! |
|
From today, Chorleywood Cricket club is one of three local bodies who will be vying for votes in the latest Waitrose Community Matters charity initiative in their store in Rickmansworth.
This is a scheme where three local charities get chosen each month to receive part of a £1000 donation. A poster for each charity is put at the welcome desk with a tube below. Each customer is given a token for which they can use as a vote, they put this token in relievent tube. At the end of the month the tokens get weighed and each body will receive a portion as per percentage of tokens they receive, ie 50% tokens = £500.
There is no lower limit to the value of purchases that you need to make in order to qualify - each purchase gets you a token.
So please, if you are able to, get along to Waitrose in Rickmansworth as often as you can in the next month and cast your vote - the more times you do it, the more money the club will receive!!!
Many thanks for your help with this - to borrow a line from another supermarket "every little helps"!

| John AyresNew! |
|
It is with much regret that we report the death of John Ayres. John was for many years associated with local sports clubs. Firstly with Old Fullerians Rugby Club where, after retiring from playing, he took over the running of their successful Colts sides and then became for many years a most efficient Club Fixture Secretary.
In the summer John played for both Rickmansworth and Chorleywood Cricket Clubs and, although not a regular with Rickmansworth First XI, he made a habit of taking vital wickets when playing for Ricky against Chorleywood in the late 1960's and early 1970's.
At Chorleywood John will be most remembered for forming the "Chorleywood Strollers" in the early 1980's. This was a side designed for those of all age grooups who had neither the time nor the inclination to play regular league cricket. Their fixtures were mostly against good village sides and whilst played seriously also allowed for honesty, good sportsmanship, good humour and good socialising at the end of the matches. These qualities epitomised all that John stood for and the Strollers continue to this day. John was made a Vice-President of Chorleywood Cricket Club for his significant contribution to the Club.
John, we will miss you especially, as will your daughters Joanna and Karen who have all our thoughts and sympathy at this time.
The funeral is at Amersham crematorium on Tuesday 27th January at 2.30pm
