1974 Hallmark. By the editor under "Personality Parade". Mr Ted Biggs, Secretary of the Sports and Social Club.
Ted has given his life to the Sports and Social Club and consequently much of the club's success is due to him, and a few years ago members showed their appreciation by making him their first Honorary Life Member.
Apart from a break of 18 months he has been the Secretary since 1953, being in the forefront of organising the Club's great money-making activities, 13 years ago joining the Club to the Princes Risborough Sportman's Association, and more recently establishing the '200 Club' that in three years has made £1,400 profit.
In 1967 Ted married and left the village, but luckily only moving to Little Kimble, and close enough to carry on. Once a keen cricketer, but now his sports are golf and tennis. A keen gardener, a family man with one son.
