Steve Davie rolls the sleeves up for Otago cricket Lynn McConnell - 23 August 2001
Retiring Skeggs Foundation executive trustee Steve Davie will be assisting the Otago Cricket Association in the development of a series of events and fund-raising concepts over the new cricket season. Davie, well known for his cricket radio commentary work, has been contracted by the OCA to organise and host a variety of functions, including a 300 Club dinner honouring the five New Zealand players to have scored a triple century in a first-class innings (all five having been Otago representatives) and a luncheon before the One-Day International with England in late-February. Other duties include the establishment of a number of fund-raising events, some of which will be one-off ventures while others will be seen regularly on the OCA's annual calendar. Davie is excited about his new role. "It's Otago Cricket's 125th season so there will be some genuine emotion enveloping the summer's activities. "I'm looking forward to introducing concepts for the OCA which allow it to develop a stronger financial base. At the same time the public will enjoy some high calibre entertainment," he said. Since announcing his resignation from the Skeggs Foundation, the highly successful sports trust he developed and nurtured for eight years, Davie has been presented with a number of event management and corporate hosting opportunities, several of which he will take up. © CricInfo
