| Death of Jerry Stark (20th May 2010) | ||
|
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Jerry Stark. Jerry had been battling cancer. A wonderful ambassador for the game and universally popular, Jerry was at the forefront of US croquet for two decades. Our thoughts are with his family. The USCA has named a trophy in Jerry's honor, to be awarded to the USCA AC National Singles champion in perpetuity--the "Stark Cup." If you wish to make a donation toward funding the trophy on Jerry's behalf, you may send it to Shereen Hayes at the USCA, with a notation for Jerry.

| New WCF Secretary General (30th April 2010) | ||
|
Dear WCF Member Associations and WCFMC members It was with regret that I received notice early in April that Brian Storey would be retiring from the post of Secretary General today. It has been a privilege to work with Brian throughout his tenure. His professionalism and knowledge of WCF Statutes and Regulations will be missed as will his ability to keep on top of the large amount of administrative work he had had to undertake. His maintenance of the WCF Website and his organisational skills in relation to the Management Committee will be hard to surpass. His organizational work in regard to World Championship events has also been quite outstanding. On behalf of the World Croquet Federation I would like to wish Brian, and his family, all the best for the future. It is my pleasure to announce the appointment of Chris Clarke, a member of Croquet New Zealand and the CA, as the new Secretary General. Chris is no stranger to many of you as a past World Champion and he is also currently President of the Canterbury Croquet Association in New Zealand. I am sure the experience that Chris brings with him into the position will stand him in good stead. I wish him every success for his future tenure with the WCF. Charles Jones QSM JP President World Croquet Federation |
