NOTES FROM THE CHAIR<br />
A season of two halves is the best way to describe 2015. If our 1st, 2nd<br />
and 3rd XI performed in the first half of the season as they did in the<br />
second half of the season then all sides would have had a chance of<br />
promotion. That said the 1st XI finished a respectful 4th in the league,<br />
2nd XI finished 3rd in the league and the 3rd XI 5th in the league.<br />
The 2nd XI season went to the last game of the season but they missed<br />
promotion due to other results not going there way. The Club entered<br />
a 4th XI in the league this year and thanks to their captain and club<br />
stalwart Les Hall they managed to fulfil their fixtures and allowed<br />
some promising youngsters to gain valuable league cricket experience.<br />
Our first year in the Essex Sunday League proved to be a success and<br />
the Club finished second to Gorsebrook. We look forward to playing<br />
in the Premier League in <strong>2016</strong>.<br />
The clubs focus is on Colts Cricket and development of players at all<br />
levels. We are committed to giving our colts and adult cricketers the<br />
best coaching and committed to developing Gallows Corner to have<br />
the best facilities and to making it the place to play cricket in the local<br />
area.<br />
We put in place a new head coach and together with his supporting<br />
coaches they provide a high level of coaching which the players and<br />
the Club are already seeing the benefits of. Hopefully this will transfer<br />
into success at all levels in <strong>2016</strong>.<br />
<strong>GPRCC</strong> <strong>HANDBOOK</strong> <strong>2016</strong>.indd 5 16/05/<strong>2016</strong> 17:17:40
The club is well positioned going into <strong>2016</strong> and there is an air of optimism<br />
not seen at Gallows corner for some time. The efforts of the<br />
committee, players and all associated with the club are creating a<br />
unique bond between players and hopefully we will see this transfer<br />
into better performances on the field in <strong>2016</strong>.<br />
A special thanks to the committee for all their help and support<br />
throughout 2015.<br />
I wish everyone good luck for the <strong>2016</strong> season.<br />

Clubmark is a Sport England initiative that provides a ‘kitemark’ of<br />
quality for sports clubs. Its purpose is to identify and acknowledge<br />
those clubs that have shown that they are properly and efficiently<br />
managed, that provide a safe environment for young players to<br />
learn and enjoy their sport, and that have a high standard of equity<br />
and ethics towards all members. Clubs that have gained Sport England<br />
Clubmark status are therefore nationally recognised as being<br />
run in a safe, effective and child-friendly manner.<br />
<strong>GPRCC</strong> was one of the first clubs to receive clubmark accreditation<br />
in 2004. Achieved re-accreditation in 2008 and 2014.<br />
