Tony Hutton has emailed me to pass on the sad news that Mick Bourne died at his home this morning. Many tributes will be paid by those who knew Mick for much longer and much better than I did but I knew him well enough to recognise a special kind of man.
To me he will always be one of the three original pcws along with Tony and Brian Senior who Peter Davies persuaded to keep a diary of their cricket watching in 2006 and which became 'Off the beaten track', a book distinguished enough to be given space in the library at Lord's.
I have asked Tony to keep me informed of the funeral arrangements and will post them here in due course if Mick's daughter so wishes.

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.
