Bert Baitup
Hard on the heels of losing one Vice-President, came news of the death of another - Albert (Bert) Baitup. Sadly, he never recovered from the stroke he suffered early in 2010. His funeral takes palce at the Exeter Crematorium (St Peter's Chapel) on Tuesday 7th September at 10.45am.
2010 President's Match
The President scored a hat-trick of victories over the Chairman's XI in the annual fixture on August Bank Holiday Sunday. Chasing a target of 242, the winning runs came late in the penultimate over. It was to good to see Terry Thorne and Ian Cole turning out for Anthony's team. Ian rolled back the years by scoring a cultured half century. Star bowler for the President was young James Bovey who captured 2 wickets. He couldn't get his Dad out, though!
Thanks to Bob and Jackie Adams for organising the food, and to Peter and Sandie Skinner for serving teas and running the barbecue.
