Displays and cup finals

Posted by Peter Davies

At the end of the 28 March Pennine Cricket History Conference, Walsden CC VIP Alan Stuttard asked if he could take some of our 'Cricket and Religion' display boards to an event he was speaking at. This was a great idea. Our display boards have ended up in a variety of places since their initial showing: in addition to Mr Stuttard's event, they have also been erected in local schools (Greetland), churches (Denby) and, we hear, hotels (Nortonthorpe). That is, in addition to many sets appearing in cricket club pavilions. Great for us to see.

I'd also like to mention the painstaking research that Yr 3 History student Phil Dobson is carrying out at the moment. As part of his Work Placement, he's researching the history of the Heavy Woollen Cup and adding to our database of cup-final reports at http://www.ckcricketheritage.org.uk/heavywoollen.htm. Check his excellent work out!
