Angus said: “I have been privileged to hold the position of Chairman for 10 years, succeeding Acting Chairman Rob Brooks following the untimely death of previous Chairman, John Fulkes in 2004. I have enjoyed my time immensely as the Club has gone through huge changes in the last 10 years. We have grown the membership and Club’s finances year on year, culminating in the planning of our new Clubhouse development which Matt, myself and the rest of the Committee are taking forward.”

New Chairman, Matt Swain, confirmed that a tender package for the Clubhouse development would be ready in April.” This is a magnificent opportunity for a local construction company to help build this major community facility,” he added. On the day to day club matters he said: “We are lucky to have a stable and dedicated Club Committee to run our expanding activities. My priorities as Chairman will be to continue to grow club membership and develop our close relationships with Thame’s community, the Town Council, Lord Williams’ School and the town’s primary schools.”

Matt gave a detailed presentation to the meeting of the new Clubhouse project, and confirmed that the Club’s very successful ‘Buy A Brick’ scheme will run through 2017.
