A huge round of applause to our founder, club secretary and inspiration Maxie Allen, who’s stepping down after 16 glorious years at the helm.

At our AGM in central London on Sunday, Maxie handed over the reins to Nick Chadwick, our new club captain. Nick will enjoy the fullest of support from everyone in our club as he takes on this prestigious new role, and will be ably assisted by our new vice-captain, Pete Cresswell. Paul Bowman has become our new club treasurer and Garreth Duncan membership and communications secretary.  Haroon Khalid continues in his hugely appreciated role as our nets supremo.

Maxie becomes our honorary life president and will continue as our fixtures secretary for this year.  Many thanks to Maxie from every Allstar, past and present, for everything he’s done for our club – the Allstars simply would not exist without him!
