VERY GOOD CAUSE INDEED

From Ann Boulton

The late, much missed, Norman McVicker over the years collected, and edited, a host of cricketing tales which his widow, Rosemary, has now had published.
The book is called (surprise!) Cricketing Tales and costs £5 from Cleethorpes Cricket Club, or £6.50 (p+p included) if you buy it on Amazon. All money raised goes to support junior cricket at Cleethorpes CC.
It is selling very well and is already into its first re-print. Can you give it a bit of publicity on the site?


Nigel Fisher adds

Norman was often to be seen supporting Lincolnshire Minor Counties matches decades after he enjoyed any playing connections with our county club. He graduated to first class cricket with Warwickshire and was a good all-rounder at that level. I met his widow - a very nice lady - pre-season when giving a talk at Cleethorpes CC to the Lincolnshire Cricket Lovers, which she attended. Many Lincs cricket followers kept an eye on Norman's progress in his first class days, especially televised Sunday games in the old John Player League (40 overs a side).
I'm going to suggest Cricketing Tales would make a good birthday present, or even Christmas stocking-filler. Not too expensive, either. And it's all for a very good cause.
