Woodsome Hall Golf Club for the Almondbury Casuals annual dinner in the company of club historian and writer Dave Walker, who had just arrived back in Huddersfield after a canal holiday in Oxford. The golf club was a handsome venue. Maybe 40 or 50 Casuals in attendance with Rupert Wilson MC for the night. The food was wonderful and the speech - by a local divorce lawyer - very clever and funny. The Casuals are a friendlies-only team. They have a long history and Dave has already penned two books about it, with more to come I believe. A very good night.

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.
