On the 23rd of March the last meeting of the above society took place at The Longroom at Headingley.The Rev Michael Vockins talked about his career especially his thirty years as Secretary of Worcstershire Cricket Club.
He took over from Ted Lester who returned to Yorkshire to be Secretary.At Worcester when he first started had a staff of about four.During the winter he had problems finding things to do.How things have changed.
He was in charge of a number of tours to Australia,New Zealand,India and Pakistan.There was a tale that there was a spare night in Pakistan.To fill in the time a young lady snake charmer was arrange the players.However when the poison snaker were crwl round her feet he could take no more and went to his room for a Whisky.A few minutes there was a knock on the door and Antony McGrath arrived also as the snakes were now in her mouth. A bit different from Bingo.
He was very entertaining to listen to.
The Spring dinner was on Tuesday with Mick Cowan which I understand was excellent.
So I waiting for the cricket and sun.
