Chris Adams' New Challenge
Chris Adams and the Fellowship Review
Chris Adams has taken up the challenge of reviving Surrey's fortunes on the cricket front, following his remarkable run of success as captain of Sussex CCC. Chris has a three year contract as the professional cricket manager of Surrey and we are confident that he will bring another era of high achievement in all competitions for one of cricket's highest profile counties.
Our picture shows Chris with a copy of the recent Fellowship Review: he was photographed at the Oval just before a 20/20 match against Kent. As a boy, Chris was supported by the Foundation's Leadership Award Scheme through his sixth form career at Repton. The Fellowship wishes him the very best of luck in his new post.
The March Steering Committee meeting was cancelled as a mark of respect to Fred Packard and so there was much to discuss at the Steering Committee meeting at the start of June. Jason Chaffer prefaced the meeting with a tribute to Fred and discussion then flowed about past,present and future Fellowship initiatives.
The minutes of the meeting can be found here. They show the determination of the Fellowship Steering Committee to maintain a strong momentum, despite the untimely loss of Fred's leadership. It is, of course, what he would have wanted and expected.
Many congratulations to Lindsay Fox on her election as Chairman of The Rank Foundation with effect from 1 January 2010. Lindsay, as Chairman of the Foundation's Youth and Education Committee, has been central to the development of the Leadership Award Scheme: she has also taken a considerable interest in the Fellowship from its inception. She will take over from Val Powell on his retirement from the Board of Directors. Her Vice-Chairman will be Joey Newton, thus retaining the close links between the Rank family and the Foundation.
