Cricket matches may be over for another year, but the Lincolnshire Cricket Lovers’ Society season is just beginning.
Once again, the society has a number of interesting speakers lined up, beginning on Thursday, October 20 with ex-Warwickshire and England batsman John Jameson.
John is perhaps best known for the world record second-wicket stand of 465 he shared with Rohan Kanhai but he was also a brisk medium-pace bowler, a good slip fielder and, on occasion, a reliable stand-in wicketkeeper.
Having played for England in four tests and three ODIs, John retired prematurely in 1976 to coach at Taunton School before becoming a first-class umpire, Sussex coach and then MCC assistant secretary. As late as 1994 he was still playing for Warwickshire's Over-50 side.
John will be speaking at Cleethorpes Cricket Club, beginning at 7.30pm but there is an opportunity to meet him earlier in the evening at a cheese and wine reception to celebrate the start of the new Cricket Lovers’ season.
Tickets for the reception cost £5 and must be booked with Ron Gardner on 01472 877798
Admission to the talk is free to members and £5 for guests. Membership of the Cricket Lovers’ is £12 per annum, £16 for joint membership and free to under-18s. Future speakers include ex-Gloucestershire player and coach Andy Stovold.
