Richard Cowles
Chair
A safe pair of hands with the keeping gloves since 2013 – joining Lanna in its inaugural season. Richard has served previously as Treasurer and looks after the club website. Immediate goals include an outbound tour in 2027, maintaining strong membership numbers, and bringing cricket back into Chiang Mai schools.
Richard’s Responsibilities
To lead the ExCom in pursuit of the club’s agreed objectives. To represent the club and seek its best interests in its relationships with all stakeholders in Chiang Mai cricket – including other clubs, grounds, schools, administrative bodies, cricket players, match officials and supporters.
Elliot Lodge
Captain
Elliot has been a Lanna regular since 2016. His nagging swing bowling and middle order nurdling is inspired by the mediocre New Zealand teams of the 1990s/2000s. His early years at the club coincided with the glory days of Lanna Thais and their last gasp league victory of 2017/18. He took over as Lanna captain for the 2025/26 season.
Elliot’s Responsibilities
On-field captain and team selector, responsible for ensuring that all players adhere to high standards of competitiveness and fair play. Liaises with other clubs on match scheduling and ground bookings. Elliot also coordinates Saturday morning junior cricket at Prem.
Richard Lockwood
Secretary
Locky has served as secretary since the club’s inception in 2012. He’s usually located in the scorebox on match day but has ventured out for specialist captaincy duties for Lanna Thais and for Lanna Spirits’ win in the Southerners Sixes a few years back. Prodigious turner of the ball. Also chair of the Chiang Mai Sixes.
Richard’s Responsibilities
Oversees all formal internal communications regarding policy, ExCom decisions, ECM and AGM meeting dates, etc. Locky also handles all external enquiries via email and Facebook, and manages the club’s scoring and statistics system.
Richie George
Treasurer
Richie is a passionate allrounder on the field, and off the field is now one of the managers at the UN Irish Pub, a longstanding sponsor of the club. Richie approaches life like a Test match: five days long, occasionally rained off. As visiting teams have discovered, he’ll happily commit to a night out, but will only draw stumps once he has witnessed the sunrise – his definition of a full day’s play.
Richie’s Responsibilities
Management and reporting of club finances, and collection of membership and match fees. This includes budgeting for tours and tournaments and liaising with sponsors. Richie is also the team vice-captain.
Owen Beynon
Cricket Development
Owen’s Responsibilities
Connecting with the cricket community in Chiang Mai and beyond, in search of opportunities to develop cricket here. This includes fundraising towards junior coaching initiatives and the club’s broader aims of membership growth and financial sustainability.
