Awn Pattamaporn
Squirrel, most lovable of creatures. Playful and fun loving, can be seen racing along the electric wiring around the town. Awn will meet the majority of you during the tournament as she oversees the bar and all that happens there, such as dispensing liquid pain killers for the losing teams or celebratory drinks for the victors. It is a happy custom that the winners buy drinks for the losers.

Barrie Radburn
Sloth, slow moving with large eyes. Would seem to be asleep all the time, or is there another reason? Could we be underestimating him? Teams and playing schedules is his brief. Has the claws for that, don’t argue.
-
David Walker
Giraffe. Why, for someone who sticks his neck out a lot he has to be a giraffe. Plenty of neck. David has the un-enviable position as local committee chairman. So no matter what he says there will be plenty of contradictions from many of the committee. He may get it in the neck, as it were.

Dominic Williams
Kangaroo. Yes always on the go. Hopping from here to there, never a backward step. There is a tail there or is that a tale. He has no pouch as he is male. But he wished he did have one, so could he have a nice stock of food at hand all the time. Mr. Calories. Our catering expert. You can be sure every dish has been sampled at least once and maybe more.
-
Jenny Morgan
Duck, what else. A duck for all seasons. Jenny will be wishing for a duck for each batsman during the tournament. That would raise considerable funds for the Chiang Mai Junior Cricket Development Program.Tireless raiser of funds for our kids.

Martin Papworth
Meer cat. Very family orientated this interesting creature. Always on the lookout. As senior grounds man and responsible for all things that are needed during the tournament Martin has an impossible task getting the show on the road in time and keeping the field ship shape. Taking over from the old man of the sea, we all know that our faith is founded on solid ground.

Mike McCune
Hippopotamus, why, it seems a warm and friendly creature. Treat it respectfully and all will be well. But beware this is the most dangerous animal in South Africa. Just don’t argue. You may get crushed or beat verbally. Responsible for money, media, internet things. That is a handful.
-
Paul "Hagar" Jones
Koala, big and round, slow moving and dozey. Eats only manna gum leaves which ferment during digestion creating a permanent high. This fussy animal lives life in a dream. Well, he is the chief umpire so it goes without saying doesn’t it?
-
Peter Dawson
Platypus. Looks innocent enough. But try catching the male and you will soon know that was a silly thing to do. The male has a nasty claw on its back leg which can really do some painful damage. Number cruncher.
-
Richard “Locky” Lockwood
Beagle dog. Has a nose for the job as used by customs. Our chief scorer has his hands full every day as the games are quick and time is scarce. So Locky has to be on the ball and have his team attentive and watchful at all times, lest the Umpires are on his back.
-
Rick Davis
Wombat, nocturnal creature. Slow moving, waddles along, tough outer skin. Would grace the PA with his dulcet voice during the seven days of cricket, but alas he will be absent and missed this year.
-
Taran Persuad
St. Bernard, well he is the medical and safety officer. Being diligent, Taran has tested his car on several occasions since he bought and bent it. He can’t blame the local drivers, just his better judgement!!! Better with a needle and syringe in hand, you will get the point.

Terry Skillet:
Bison. Big hairy horny monster!!! Spends considerable time with microphone in hand giving us his version of the play and more. Now, why a microphone, with his voice he doesn’t need a microphone. A Lovely man to have on your side.
