Dutchy du Chateau & John Standish – Wanderers Founders
It all begins with an idea. The Wellington Wanderers Cricket Club played its first fixtures in the summer of 1946-47 having been formed by the efforts of two men, Dutchy du Chateau and John Standish. They wanted to have a social cricket team who, because they didn’t have their own ground, travelled gypsy-like to each venue.
As a result of Dutchy du Chateau’s friendship with Peter Field, a farmer from Waikanae, a cricket ground was formed on one of Peter’s sheep paddocks and the Wanderers had a home ground to call their own. In December 1961 the first game was played and the pavilion followed in 1961. The original grass wicket was replaced in the mid 70’s by a coir matting wicket and then in 1988, with the help of the Norwood Trust, a top class artificial AstroTurf wicket was installed. Sadly due to lack of interest the last game was played in 2003 and the ground is no longer used, which means the Wellington Wanderers has returned full-circle to its roots as a ‘wandering’ cricket club.
