2008 - PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Welcome to Park Avenue
It is my great pleasure to welcome to Park Avenue all Railway Union members and their families and guests, all visiting teams and their supporters, match day officials and all our colleagues in sport.  We in Railway Union pride ourselves on our hospitality and we hope that you leave us having received a warm welcome, having made new friends and renewed old acquaintances.

To all players on all our teams, particularly those joining Railway Union in 2008, I wish them well for an enjoyable and successful season. I am particularly pleased that Railway Union will be fielding Taverners’ and Women’s teams again
after a lapse of many years.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those involved in the running of our teams, our vice presidents, our coaches, our tea servers, our volunteers and all those who have taken on various roles within the Club, both on and off our Committee. I also thank our generous sponsors and the advertisers and photographers who have contributed to our Yearbook.

I am particularly grateful to Maurice Whelan who has guided the Club so well over the last few years as President and Chairperson and continues to help and support our Committee. In 2007, Maurice was instrumental in our Club embarking on a programme of work that involved the renovation and maintenance of our playing surfaces as they had fallen below acceptable standards and threatened the future viability of our Club to play at senior level.

I would like to thank all who worked so hard last autumn to carry out vital grounds maintenance and lay two new ‘pitches’ which we hope to use later this season. I am pleased to report that we have made application for funding under the Sports Capital Programme in order to continue this work. I would ask all members and friends of Railway Union to support the various functions and social activities that will be held throughout the season. I am proud to be President of the Club and confident that with your support we will all have an enjoyable and successful 2008 season both on and off the field.

Yours in Sport,

David Carroll

President, Railway Union Cricket Club
