Last Friday I had the privilege of interviewing Lisa Nandy MP in front of around 100 guests for a Wigan Youth Zone business breakfast. Lisa has been a great supporter of this important charity from its conception, through build and now 11 years of providing essential services. 👌

Congratulations jack draper 🎾 Another Wigan connection. 👏👏👏👏

If ever there was evidence that Wiganers are unique. Shaun Wane as discussed 👍

Congratulations to Wigan Warriors 🍒⚪️ Womens Team on their Challenge Cup win. Its a Wigan thing 🍒 👌

What great news, a true sporting hero and a thoroughly nice man. It was fabulous that he was able to meet up with some of his ex Highfield CC teammates last year as part of the clubs centenary celebrations. Congratulations Sir Billy 👌

A pleasure and privilege to attend Wigan Youth Zone 12th Birthday Party today, enjoyed by hundreds of young people and their families. Thanks also to our special guests Mayor of Wigan Borough Jenny Bullen and Martin Ainscough CBE DL High Sheriff of Greater Manchester.

This is an overwhelming honour. One of the most rewarding roles I have held across my community facing portfolio. But still much to do to improve opportunities for the young people of Wigan.

A great reminder of how Wigan Athletic engages really well with the community. Well done for selecting Wigan band The Lilacs to lead this kit launch accompanied by an interview with Sam explaining his fight against testicular cancer. Sam will smash it of course 💙 💜

🎹 Guests will be welcomed to The Brick Community Stadium this Sunday by a musical performance from Alan Gregory on his specially wrapped baby grand piano. Full details 👉 wwrl.net/Piano #WWRL #SLWIGWAK

So important that we get this message across, in whatever way we can. Well done Wigan Warriors 🍒⚪️ in sharing this.

The requisite notices for our AGM on October 27th have now been served. The AGM will as usual consider reports from the committee and elect for the next year, all those responsible for the management of the club including the Chair, senior captains and a President.

As I advised members at last years AGM, it was my intention to not stand for re-election as Chair this year. As we approach that meeting, I wanted to reconfirm that position such that the focus at that meeting in a few weeks will be on who has been appointed as my successor.

My reasons for not seeking re-election remain as explained previously. After 21 years as Chair of a club I love, it is time for a change as we look towards our next 100 years. Every organisation deserves different perspectives, so that is something we can all look forward to.

I really appreciate the kind words that have been said about my tenure as Chair, which has been one of the proudest and most rewarding roles that I have held.

During that long 21 years period in the clubs history, we have all enjoyed so many highlights on and off the field and I feel the club is in great shape to navigate the ongoing challenges and opportunities before it. The new Chair will have a great committee to support them.

I will of course continue to support the club in whatever way is considered most useful, watch as many senior and junior games as possible and support the strong programme of community events.

I treasure my Honorary Life Membership and also the new Cricket Scoring facilities bearing my name, a facility for which we worked so hard to get funded and built in 2024, our memorable centenary year.

Members can be assured that up to and including my last official duties on the night of the AGM, I will continue to serve the club as I always have, with pride and 100% commitment. Up the Squirrels 🐿️ Gary Gary Speakman, Chair, HCC

Im walking 62 Miles in October to raise funds for Dementia UK. I have a very close family member aged just 62 who was diagnosed with Dementia a year ago. She will accompany me on some of the walks, helping to trigger positive memories. fundraise.dementiauk.org/fundraisers/ga… Thank you!

Signing off tonight Highfield CC after 21 years as Chair of a special club. Thanks to everyone who attended the AGM tonight. My personal congratulations to Mike Gregory who was appointed as the new Chair 🐿️👌
