Club VP unveils new facility

One of the club's Vice Presidents officially opened the refurbished terrace before the final Saturday game of the season. Patricia Hingston made a generous donation to ensure we could make big improvements to the 'high traffic' area within the picket fence. Patricia unveiled the plaque in honour of her late husband Trevan, who was President of Fernhurst CC from 1987-2009. It includes the famous quotation from the great cricket writer Neville Cardus, "It is far more than a game, this cricket."

This photo shows Trevan in 2009 on his retirement as President, with FCC Vice President Sir Tim Rice.


Before the unveiling, FCC President Bill Gourlay said "Trevan saw the club through some very successful times, the glory years of successive promotions to Division One and then those slightly difficult years going into the 2000s when the 2nd XI folded and the 1st XI dropped to Div. Three. He saw us in good days and bad, which is always the role of the committee members and the President. But he put us in a position where we are today, a really important man in the history of the club. We saw him quite a bit after his retirement. Despite having lost his vision he would still sit here following the game with many of us trying to do 'Test Match Special' commentary for him and probably failing miserably! Trevan was a really special person to have around the club and we're delighted to have this fine facility here in his honour. Thank-you Patricia."
