David Gambie has for several years served as the Clubs President and more recently as Chairman. However, he has indicated that he is no longer able to continue.
We need someone to step up to take this vital role on.
The Club can manage without a President, but having a Chairman is crucial if we are to continue to be able to play the cricket that we do.
Paul Berman & Andy Rose are continuing as Secretary & Treasurer, so there will be continuity of Officers for a new Chairman.
Please give this matter some serious thought, whether as a nominator for a candidate, or for taking it on yourself.
