The 5th Annual Pennine Cricket Conference was staged at the University of Huddersfield on 28 March. It was a very good day with four excellent speakers (take a bow Messrs Jowett, Cooper, Laughton and Hutton) and a wonderful audience about 35-40 strong. The topics discussed were the story of Southowram CC, professionals in the Central Lancashire League, rhymester Albert Craig and cricket grounds 2008. There was an update on project news, lunch in the Varsity pub across the road, and some great chat and banter during the coffee breaks. The bookstall did some good trade and it is good to know the new season is only a few weeks away. Thank you to everyone who spoke and came along for making it such a memorable day.

About the project:
This blog was originated in 2008 as an offshoot of the separate website ‘The cricket history of Calderdale and Kirklees’ which covered in depth the histories of every league cricket club in these two areas of West Yorkshire. Unfortunately this site fell into disuse although there are now plans to reinstate it by the Yorkshire Cricket Foundation.
Meanwhile the blog has gone its own way and has expanded into a review of cricket at all levels throughout the north of England, both past and present. The three current bloggers are all Yorkshire based. Tony Hutton and John Winn are both members of Durham and Yorkshire county clubs and Brian Sanderson is an active member of the Yorkshire archives committee.
We have now recruited Lancashire based Mike Latham, well known in both cricket and rugby league circles, to provide an ever wider coverage of cricket from the north.

Even though Megan and I were, in a way, working behind the scenes of this conference, it was still a brilliant day! I loved getting to know some of those who attended and hearing that they were really enjoying the talks. We also got a very positive response from people through the questionnaires that were handed out. Thank you to everyone who filled them out; it was great to see your appreciation!
