Project news

Posted by Peter Davies

We've had contact recently with some interesting people:

- Nigel Stockley of the lancashireleague.com website is (hopefully) creating a Lancashire League heritage museum, maybe in Oswaldtwistle. So we have passed onto him a set of display boards we inherited from Brian Heywood - which told the history of the league and were originally housed in a Lancashire exhibition venue (and which might have been thrown out if Brian hadn't rescued them).

- Just before the Leeds Test match, we were contacted by the organisation which was planning a huge Ashes-themed cricket festival in Millennium Square, Leeds. They wanted to borrow an 'old-fashioned' cricket scoreboard from a local club to use at the festival.

- We've also been asked to help Blackley Ladies CC fix up some extra fixtures - from contacts we've made through the project.
