By Ann Boulton
In a change of date from the published programme, the next Lincolnshire Cricket Lovers’ Society evening takes place on Wednesday, 16 February at Cleethorpes Cricket Club.
Confessions of a Cricketing Parson is the title of the talk by Rev Canon Alan Haydock whose has a reputation for having his audiences “rolling in the aisles”.
A member of the committee of Nottinghamshire CCC – whose captain Chris Read has been heard to recommend that listeners fasten their seat belts - Canon Haydock is also an honorary Canon of Southwark Minster and a supporter of both of Nottingham’s football league clubs.
He speaks very humorously about his role on the Nottinghamshire committee and his dealings with some of the famous personalities within the club, including Derek Randall.
Over the past 21 years, Canon Haydock has donated his speaking fees to many worthy causes and so far has raised more than £50,000.
The evening begins at 7.30pm and is free for members and £5 for guests.

MEMORABLE MOMENT
By Gary Smith, long-serving Brigg Town opening batsman
Can you remember when several stray cows were seen running up and down the lane above the playing field at Haxey when Brigg Town CC were playing there? During play two rather large Friesians came charging across the outfield chased by a local farmer towards the car park where Mr and Mrs Willerton were watching ‘our Martin'. Mrs Willerton made a hasty retreat to the car and didn’t emerge from there for the rest of the game.
NF adds: Yes, I remember this incident well. It went down in Brigg Town CC folklore.

BOWLER TAKES GUARD
Lincolnshire Cricket Lovers’ Society
From Ann Boulton
Peter Bowler - described as one of the best players never to play Test cricket - is the Lincolnshire Cricket Lovers’ Society’s first guest speaker of 2011.
Peter spent twenty years on the professional cricket circuit, making his debut for Leicestershire in 1986. He went on to represent Derbyshire, Tasmania and ultimately Somerset, scoring just under 20,000 runs in first-class cricket with 45 hundreds.
He was England's top run scorer in 1992 and retired at the end of the 2004 season aged 41 to take up a career in corporate law and now works as a legal consultant.
He is also an accomplished after dinner speaker, recalling his career, and the many humorous experiences both on and off the field, having played with and against some of the game's greatest players and characters.
Peter will be speaking at Cleethorpes Cricket Club on Wednesday, January 12. The evening begins at 7.30pm and is free for Society members and £5 for guests.
