124 SPORTS CLUBS I <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2013</strong><br />
I am very grateful, as I am sure readers will also be, to all my fellow trustees for their<br />
time and effort: entirely voluntary when they all have jobs and commitments to more<br />
than fill their days otherwise.<br />
This year we had two exceptional captains: Ricardo Herreros-Symons and Ellie Sharp<br />
did a wonderful job and showed great leadership, with the result that morale remained<br />
excellent even when circumstances were adverse – which they were. We wish them both<br />
well and look forward to staying in touch. We wish too all success to Rhodri Kendrick<br />
and Molly Whitehall, the new men’s captain and president and women’s captain<br />
respectively, and the other <strong>of</strong>ficers and committee members: they will know that there is<br />
a huge well <strong>of</strong> support for them and lots <strong>of</strong> advice and guidance available to them in the<br />
coming year.<br />
I conclude with a late piece <strong>of</strong> news and a personal note. Our boatman, Charlie<br />
Mulholland, has left the club on amicable terms: we thank him for his contribution and<br />
wish him well. The process <strong>of</strong> appointing his successor began under the excellent<br />
chairmanship <strong>of</strong> Michael Waring and has resulted in the appointment <strong>of</strong> John Thicknes,<br />
fresh from three years’ experience building and sustaining lightweight oarsmen to the<br />
CULRC. He is already proving and exceptionally capable and conscientious holder <strong>of</strong> the<br />
post <strong>of</strong> Head Coach/Boathouse Manager.<br />
My personal note is that I have been given the great honour <strong>of</strong> being elected a Steward<br />
<strong>of</strong> Henley Royal Regatta. For those in the world <strong>of</strong> rowing, this is the top, at least <strong>of</strong>f the<br />
water. I am very pleased, not just for myself, but because it continues the long line <strong>of</strong><br />
Jesuan Stewards and I am delighted to be joining the very distinguished group <strong>of</strong> Pat<br />
Delafield, Chris Rodrigues and Chris Baillieu, all <strong>of</strong> whom have made and continue to<br />
make a major contribution to <strong>Jesus</strong>, <strong>Cambridge</strong>, national and international rowing.<br />
We look forward with confidence to the coming year and wish the JCBC well.<br />

Cricket<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>College</strong> Cricket Club had another busy schedule <strong>of</strong> fixtures this season, with<br />
matches against Nottingham <strong>University</strong> and a number <strong>of</strong> wandering cricket clubs from<br />
London and <strong>Cambridge</strong>. Another great tradition that will continue for many years to
