WELCOME TO THE STOURBRIDGE & DISTRICT CRICKET SOCIETY
Oldswinford Cricket Club book review
|
|
‘A History of Cricket in Oldswinford’ is a new book on cricket that has been published recently.
Ken Slater’s book focuses on the little-known early years of Oldswinford St Mary’s Cricket Club, Stourbridge, located then in Worcestershire. The author, in his capacity of secretary of the present-day Oldswinford CC (OCC), has spent much of the past two years scrolling through countless spools of microfiched match reports that have appeared in the local press since Victorian times.

LATEST UPDATES
Local Club Cricket Memories Sought!
Do you have any photographs of your local cricket club? *
Did you or someone you know play for a local cricket club? *
If you can answer “Yes” to either question and have photos or items of local cricket interest, we hope you can help us!
Stourbridge & District Cricket Society will celebrate its Golden Jubilee in four years’ time. One proposal is for the Society to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2022 by compiling a book of memories / recollections, contributed by individuals with a shared interest in cricket at local club* level. * By local club, we mean any club, current or defunct, based in the Dudley borough (Brierley Hill, Dudley, Halesowen, Stourbridge) including factory, works and other teams. For more information please visit the HERITAGE GROUP PAGE HERE
‘Lord Ted’ to open our 2018/19 season
Former Sussex & England skipper, Ted Dexter CBE will be the first guest of the Society’s new season, which begins on Thursday 18th October.
Further details will appear in due course. Please note that due to anticipated demand, this meeting will be restricted to members only and their invited guests. Click here to view the 2018/19 programme
Cricket Club Photo
The Society asked for any information about the photos of Netherton Cricket Club and we are pleased to say we have been kindly supplied the following updates here.
Strapline
We have adopted a strapline – Supporting cricket is as important as playing cricket! We think those eight words sum up what cricket societies are all about. Please use this quote when people ask you questions about our society. We shall use it whenever possible from now on.
Finally
We want the website to be of interest all-year round – not just for the winter months when we meet. Let us have your ideas and suggestions for summer use; we don’t want to rehash county scores. Perhaps we could persuade some members to provide updates on local club scores?
