    2016 Annual Dinner Report 10102016

    ! Keeping you connected … 2016 OCTOBER DINNER NEWSLETTER ! Geoff Miller returns to standing ovation ONE of Cheshire’s best-known former players Geoff Miller OBE proved to be one of the finest speakers of recent years at the League’s 42nd annual Presentation Dinner at The Mere on Friday, October 7. Addressing a league audience for the third time – he did so previously in 1985 at the Cresta Court, Altrincham and in 2003 at Mere, Geoff enraptured the240-strong assembly with wonderful tales of his times playing for Derbyshire, Essex and England, for whom he gained 36 caps between 1976 and 1984. Appointed OBE in 2011 after becoming the first England National selector, Geoff, now 64, dealt hilariously with his ‘mostly modest’ contributions to the game, starting with a duck on his debut for Derbyshire against Lancashire at snowbound Buxton in 1975 He played four seasons with Cheshire from 1991-94 and was appointed a life member for services which brought 907 runs and 153 wickets. Saying how much he had enjoyed a career spanning more than 40 years, the Chesterfield man introduced a serious note when he praised the work being done in the game’s grass roots such as in Cheshire. ‘Our wonderful game’ must be maintained He said: “You good people here are what cricket is all about. You must help maintain our great sport in schools and clubs, through the Minor Counties and into the first-class game. I am told your clubs in Cheshire are helping young players graduate into county cricket, so you are obviously doing your bit.” Geoff Miller earned a standing ovation from an audience drawn from all clubs in the league except absentees Alvanley, Cheadle, Congleton and Middlewich.
