Davie's contract with Otago Cricket ends next week

Otago Cricket's events and fund-raising manager Steve Davie will end his contract at the end of next week.

Davie took up the position in September 2001 and introduced a number of successful concepts to Otago Cricket's calendar: the annual dinner, sponsors' golf day and a range of hospitality options being the highest profile.

Otago Cricket's financial position enjoyed a healthy turnaround last season, the fund-raising efforts of Davie complementing New Zealand Cricket's continued support of the game at provincial level.

While he leaves to pursue other business interests, Davie's services will not be entirely lost to Otago Cricket. He will continue to promote and host the dinner and golf and will maintain a liaison with the region's major sponsors.
