Message from the new President
Welcome to the 2015/16 cricket season at Taita Cricket, I feel very honoured to be given the opportunity to be President of our great club at the AGM held in September. I have been around the club scene at Taita for a number of years now undertaking various roles and I am really looking forward to taking on this prestigious position within the club.
I have big shoes to full, taking over from Jakey who did an outstanding job, who along with Goz who is stepping down as Chairman provided great leadership for the club. It is also with great pleasure that the club welcomes Dave Little a "A Taita Legend" to the role as Chairman after a number of years coaching the Premier team.
I would like to welcome players new and returning for the upcoming season. We had some great successes last year winning the Cricket Wellington T20 Final and beaten finalist in the Pearce Cup and I am sure under the leadership of Mark and with Sriram taking on the coaching role we can go one better this season.
Whether you are a serious or social player, I am sure you will have a great season on and off the field, enjoy, give your best and respect the game and the club.
My aim this year is to grow the non-playing support base and increasing the number of Taitanium members by creating a vibrant environment at the club where all supporters are down at the club for a couple of hours most Saturdays supporting the Premier team.
