New management at Thames Ditton

From April 1, Thames Ditton will be managed by JJ Griffin, replacing Ed and Alison Breton who, as we all know, have moved into the world of golf.

JJ will be known to many of you, by sight if not name, as he plays for the OCRFC BXV, although in an ill-advised outing for the 1st XV last weekend he managed to break his clavicle and so starts his tenure at TD with his arm in a sling. This is inconvenient but makes him very easy to identify.

I know JJ has plans to have a meet-and-greet day, and with various league matches still outstanding most of us will get a chance to say hello sooner rather than later.

Martin Williamson and Rick Johnson will be acting as liaisons between the OC Society and JJ, and there are plans for work to be carried out over the summer which will be flagged at a later date.

His contact number is 07858 284807 and the existing TD clubhouse number also works. His current email address is womblesuk@hotmail.com.

We would also like to thank Ed and Alison for all the hard work, and the remarkable job they have done in making such a difference to the way the club is run and the facilities on offer.
