It is with great regret that I must report the retirement of our club secretary, Ted Biggs. Ted has been secretary for 26 years now - a long time to serve one club so faithfully by anybody's standards. I am sure all members, both present and past, will join me in saying a hearty thank you Ted for all the hard work that he has put in during those years. His efforts stretch back long before I joined the club, to the building of the existing pavilion, and I think it fair to say he has now seen another hurdle over with the successful completion of the new extentions. To you Ted, "Thank you" from all of us. | It is with great regret that I must report the retirement of our club secretary, Ted Biggs.

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 and Audrey left the village, but luckily only moving to Little Kimble, and close enough to carry on.
