OFFICERS 2012
PRESIDENT: Colin Barber
Esq
Mr Barber was elected President in 1992 after being associated with the club for
over thirty years.
He joined the club as a raw, fast-bowling schoolboy and progressed to opening
the bowling for the First Eleven. With his fearsome, galloping run-up, his gruff
appealing sent a shiver down the spine of anyone within the parish boundary.
Later on in his playing days he converted to off spin with much success and went
on to add many more wickets to his already impressive haul. Never one to caress
the ball, he either blocked it, slogged it or missed it - in equal proportions.
His position was normally in the tail but he would not give in without a fight.
This will-to-win also served him well as Second Eleven captain.
He also served as a Parish Councillor and a member of the Wollaston
Playing Field Committee.
