Changes at the top

Following the Club's AGM held on the 22nd January two significant changes are announced.

Bob Walker
Ill health has forced Bob Walker to step down as President of the Club, a post that he has held with great distinction for over 30 years. The Club has been most fortunate to have had the benefit, over that period of time,of his great generosity and unfailing support,for which we will always be grateful.


We are delighted that Denis Walker has agreed to succeed his father, and at almost the age of 60 assumes the post at a greater age than which his father did.  

Also after a period of five years Peter Walker has stepped down from the role of Chairman. Those five years have seen the Club achieve great success both on and off the field. 2016 was most possibly the best season's playing results in the Club's history. With the 1st X1 going through the season unbeaten and regaining it's position in Division 1 of the Home Counties Premier League. The 2nd X1 and 4th X1 cementing their places in Divisions 1 and 7 of the Cherwell League, with the 3rd X1 gaining, the previously elusive, promotion to Division 4. On top of that the Junior sides won the Under 17,13 and 11 County titles

John Hilland
Just as importantly he oversaw the development of the Clubroom extension which has been of enormous benefit to the Club and without which we would not be able to compete at our current level.

He is succeeded by John 'Hilly' Hilland who will bring his own inimitable style of leadership to the post and will be an undoubted success in ensuring the Club continues it's development and progress
