A final sign off from Kent Reimers
I would like to say a massive thank you to many people.
Team Owners
Naming Rights Sponsors
Hit The Sign Sponsors
Officials
Fans
Volunteers
The Media
The Clubs
Anyone that played in the competition
But most of all, to Toowoomba Cricket Inc.
When Tony and I came up with the idea that was the DDBBL, the TCI supported us whole heartedly. Even though there was a change in board, the support never wavered.
For Tony and I, we always said that 3 years was our limit and with "The Virus" we sort of did 3.5 years.
In our opinion, we believed it was time for someone else to take it on and add their own stamp. One thing is for certain, the period at the start of nominations through to the grand final is an intense one for us as volunteers and our families were magnificent with their support.
Over the 4 years, I have received many kind comments (and some not so kind ones). The one person that has been there with Tony and I all the way, has been Clayton Forknall. He is an absolute treasure and unsung hero of cricket in Toowoomba.
It saddens me that there is no one to take it on and run it. The TCI have done all they could to find willing volunteers, but it is what is!!
I hope that this is just a 1 year hiatus and it kicks off again in 2024.
I apologise if I have not thanked enough people, I am truly grateful for the experience.
Regards,
Kent Reimers
