As a reliable all-rounder with both bat and ball, playing for the Saturday 1^st Team, he was captain from 1996-1997 and served on the Cricket Committee for nearly 10 years including a stint as Cricket Chairman.

He was instrumental in bringing through a number of juniors into the senior teams when he was junior cricket coach from 1996-2000 and also set up the Sunday Kent Village League team, predominantly for the development of young players, which he captained until 2004

Colin has been a Vice President of the Club since 2008.

Aside from Staplehurst, Colin played cricket for Kent Over 50’s, Over 60’s and currently plays for the Kent Over 70’s who are the National Champions!  He’s actually an international cricketer too having played four times each for England Over 60’s and England Over 70’s.

So we welcome Colin, and his wife Val, and here’s to a successful two year Presidency!

Jo became Secretary in 2019 and has been an active member of the Club for several years.  She is one of the Club’s keenest tennis members and can be seen on the courts most days!  And is often seen on the decking, with a drink in hand, supporting her cricket playing husband Phil.  As a keen runner, she is also a  team leader of the resident Staplehurst Running Club.
