Brian Johnson the County Secretary for the last 35 years has decided to call it a day from Senior Executive duty. Brian feels that he has given his all and wishes for someone else to take the reins after his mammoth spell. Brian has been an official since the very start of the BICC and BDO era. This will be a sad loss to all at the County but the Executive understood the reasons why and immediately installed Brian as Life President. Brian still feels that he will be attending fixtures but will remain in the seating areas watching the games. Brian you are a Legend to this County and if not for your sterling work the Organisation would not be here amongst the very best. Good Luck in your retirement. The Officials are working on putting a suitable person to take over.
The County whilst reeling from the decision from Brian they received resignations from three other officials.
Ken Hinde has decided to call it a day after a spell of 12 years back on the committee. Ken recalls when he took over a Superleague team in the Lythalls Lane club in 1979 and ran a very succesful Coventry side throughout, he then returned in 2009 in the same club although named differently the Cherry Tree Club. Once again very succesful with many titles to his Coventry Teams. We take this opportunity to thank Ken for his hard work during both spells and his outstanding knowledge of the game. Good Luck Ken.
Thirdly we lose the Mens Team Manager Steve Crowther who resigns his position after a spell of 13 years at the helm. Steve has helped to nurture many of the Counties players and was obviously instrumental in seeing the Mens A team take top spot in the last season. Thank You Steve for your graft also within the County where offering the venue for us to use over many years. Good Luck Steve and Thank You Very Much.
Fourthly we lose the Ladies Team Manager Sue Gulliver who resigns after some 7 years as Ladies Boss where she has built up a squad that is once again starting to believe in itself with some sterling performances. Sue is staying on as a player and one that has really seen her performances gain her international recognition once again. Sue Thank You Once Again and Good Luck.
As we can all see these have hit the County very hard and with the BICC season halted and new season awaiting once government guidelines allow.
There will be some positions that are now awaiting to be filled and the officials are working hard behind the scenes to make the very right decisions.
