The final
meeting of the Lincolnshire Cricket Lovers’ Society winter season brings the
return of a popular local speaker.
Journalist
Nigel Fisher will be at Cleethorpes Cricket Club on Tuesday, February 19 at
7.30pm with more of his stories and reminiscences about Lincolnshire cricket.
Having
played almost 800 games for Brigg Town CC in his 30 year career with bat and
ball, Nigel turned to umpiring eight years ago and will undoubtedly have many
stories of his experiences in the white coat.
His involvement in local cricket includes the posts of results
secretary for the Lincolnshire County Cricket League and chairman of the newly
re-formed Broughton Evening League and he continues to report on cricket for
the Scunthorpe Telegraph, the Grimsby Telegraph and the Lincolnshire Echo.
For many years, he attended and reported on Lincolnshire ’s
Minor Counties matches and he also penned the very popular and long-running In
A Spin column, taking a light-hearted look at the game at local club level. In 2009, he set up the much-visited website
Lincs Cricket Latest.
The evening is free for Cricket Lovers’ Society members and
£5 for visitors.
