Easter Monday at Golcar

Posted by Peter Davies

Another sunny day. Swallow Lane looked gorgeous and the Colne Valley panoramas were spectacular on a crisp April afternoon. It was a pre-season friendly against Scholes, with plenty of people in attendance on the boundary, including the new Golcar president who was constantly being referred to by pals as 'El Presidente'! Pie and peas were served at teatime, just as the wind started to get up and the temperature cooled slightly. One of the Scholes batsmen hit a straight six which crashed right through a bedroom window. But, thankfully, it was reported that the householder concerned was a) in Spain, and b) a Golcar CC member - so everyone breathed a sigh of relief. News came through in mid-afternoon of the Giants' win on Humberside - and this perked everyone up. Took some photos of what appeared to be foundation stones right at the bottom of the front of the Golcar pavilion. Each stone had a name on it - founding fathers of the club perhaps or trustees when the building was constructed.
