LINCOLNSHIRE CRICKET LOVERS’ SOCIETY 

BY ANN BOULTON

JOHN INVERDALE LAUNCHES SOCIETY’S 50^TH SEASON

The Lincolnshire Cricket Lovers’ Society celebrates its 50^th season in style with visits from two famous names in the world of sport.

TV commentator John Inverdale launches the season on Thursday, October 7^th when he visits Cleethorpes Cricket Club for the Society’s first meeting of the winter.

Inverdale began his journalistic career with the Lincolnshire Echo and BBC Radio Lincolnshire and is now a versatile presenter who covers a multitude of TV sporting events.

His talk begins at 7.30pm but there is an opportunity to meet and talk to him prior to this at a buffet that begins at 6.45pm.

The buffet and the talk are free to Society members and just £5 for guests.

To book a place, cheques should be sent to the Treasurer at 22 Margaret Place, New Waltham, Grimsby DN36 4NR by Thursday, October 2^nd.

In December, the Society will welcome former England batsman Dennis Amiss while the remaining two evenings, in November and January, feature authors of two very different books – Brian Halford’s story of The Real Jeeves and Grahame Lloyd’s fascinating account of his hunt for the genuine ball that Gary Sobers hit for six sixes.

Admission for guests to all these talks is £5, payable at the door.
