Derbyshire Cricket Society ready to start winter programme

As the cricket season winds down this month, now is the time to join the Derbyshire Cricket Society and keep in touch with the game over the winter.

The society promotes and supports the interests of Derbyshire County Cricket Club. The programme of cricket speakers runs across six lunchtime meetings, usually the last Thursday in the month, starting in October and running through to March.

This year’s programme (below) starts on Thursday 26^th October with a talk by Paul Smith, one of the most entertaining ex-county cricket speakers.

Membership for the year only costs £5. Please contact Marion Bingham, the Membership Secretary (address below) if you are interested.

Having spoken for the society before, I can vouch for a friendly welcome and a convivial atmosphere in which people are made to feel very welcome. 

That is also an excellent line-up of speakers, with a strong Derbyshire bias.
