TEAM PATRON

We are delighted that Professor Wilbur S. Tickle has again stepped up to front the team in high places, liaise with the media and generally help out where needed in non-playing roles. Many of you have met the Prof. and know that the eponymous team name was indeed his suggestion many years ago. The Prof. lives in Sarawak (on the island of Borneo) but does sometimes attend tournaments with the team. He is semi-retired and welcomes direct communication regarding the team and the elephant conservation on:

About Professor Wilbur. S. Tickle
The highly distinguished Professor,  Bachelor of Philogyny (Confirmed, Hons)  Dip. HTH(Ong)  Dip. ST(Ick)  MBA (D'Ardknocks School of Business)  D. Phil(IST,INE)  OTT is the team's founding Patron and Benefactor. He is a direct relation of Sir Charles Vyner deWindt Brooke, the third and last white Rajah of Sarawak. He once bore the family's long-winded surname(s) but in a fit of youthful exuberance while studying Philogyny at Oxford changed his surname to 'Tickle' by deed poll and has lived with the consequences ever since. For those interested in the entwined history of the family and Sarawak it is suggested that you look at these excellent Wikipedia articles on Sir Charles and the History of Sarawak. Wilbur is not related to Professor Cheryll Tickle and they have never met.

 

former Team Patrons

We would like to thank His Excellency, Crispin Conroy, who was the Australian Ambassador to Nepal (until the end of 2002) who kindly agreed to become the team's patron for a season allowing Prof. Tickle a well-deserved break. Crispin scored a goal in a Visitor's game in Nepal in 2002 and may yet join the team for a full tournament.
