Life members elected at cricket club

Two longstanding life members have been elected to positions on the Umina Cricket Club's management committee at the club's recent annual meeting.

Mr David Frazer was elected president for his third stint at the top job while Mr Warwick Egan, also a past president, joined the club as the senior vice president.

The two life members join secretary Mr Jamie O'Donnell, who continues on as secretary, and Bill Gregg, who was re-elected treasurer of the club.

"The AGM was attended by 40 club members at the Everglades Country Club, some of whom travelled from Harrington on the NSW mid-north coast to attend," club vice president Mr Warwick Egan said.

"In accepting the nomination of president, David Frazer spoke at length about his vision for the coming season and thanked outgoing president Glen Dillon for keeping the club buoyant in 2009/2010.

"Change was certainly evident in the filling of other positions on the night, with past secretary Paul Watson returning to club management and Jamie Doran taking over as club captain.

"In accepting the club captain's role, Jamie spoke about the need to achieve premiership potential teams in first and second grade, which would then automatically strengthen all lower grade sides.

"Jamie also spoke about the need for an elevated level of fitness for all players, and drew no boundaries, using as an example the new president, who simply claimed that he had simply beefed up for the football season.

"First thing on the president's new agenda then became a 40-kilometre bike ride twice a week.

"The appointment of Brad Jones as chairman of selectors rounded out a successful AGM, and in closing the president thanked the appointed patrons Robyn Cattley and John Turnell of Peninsula Law."
