COUNTY TEAM
MANAGER, MARK WIEDEHOLZ, WELCOMES FRESH BLOOD AND IDEAS TO THE KENT MANAGEMENT
TEAM FOR 2008/09 SEASON.
An advert was posted to the
membership back in June 2008 for the then vacant A and B Team
managers positions. The response, I'm afraid to say, was not great in quantity
of applicants but this was made up with by quality of applicants.
For the A Team Managers
position there were 3 applicants, all of which had previous county and
managerial experience. The three applicants were put through an
interview process conducted by the premier team captain, Mr Tim Rycraft
and myself, Mr Mark Wiedeholz - County Team Manager, which lasted several
hours.
I am pleased to announce that
following these interviews the position of A Team manager will be filled
by Mr Derek Carpenter, who was elected as the successor to Ray Ann's. I would
firstly like to congratulate Derek on his appointment and welcome him into the
county management team. I would secondly like to thank the other two
applicants, Mr Keith Austin and Mrs Jan Davey, for their efforts in planning
for the interview and their willingness to put themselves forward.
The vacant position of B
Team manager was a little easier to fill as there was only one interested
applicant, Mr Dave Kruse, who I think will be a popular choice amongst the
B Team regulars. I'm pleased to also announce that assisting Dave in managing
the B Team will be Mr John Hallett who has done a great job over the
past few years in his role as Captain of the B-Team. I would like to wish
both Dave and John every success this year.
I'm sure that you all as
county bowlers will get behind the new managers and help them help you and
Kent have success in the years to come.
