HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY NEWSLETTER NO. 380 – March
HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Shaun Udal James Tomlinson NEWSLETTER NO. 380 – March 2019 (2) DAY AT THE CRICKET Information about the Society’s Day At The Cricket on Saturday 13 July will be circulated during week commencing 20 May. NEW HON. SECRETARY The Society is pleased to announce that John Hooper has kindly volunteered to act as its Hon. Secretary, with immediate effect. The Society is deeply indebted to John, who is already tackling his role with relish. MEETINGS Wednesday 27 March 2019 – Meeting The Society extends the warmest of welcomes to this evening’s speaker, Chris Lewis. Whether batting, bowling or fielding, he performed with flair which appealed to onlookers. He was one of the finest all-rounders of his generation. It has often been said that he never quite fulfilled his potential, but his achievements were substantial and would have been envied by lesser mortals. He played in 32 tests and 53 ODIs. He was selected for seven successive England tours between 1989/90 to 1994/95, travelling twice to the West Indies and Australia, as well as to New Zealand, India and Sri Lanka. He remains one of the few England players to appear in a World Cup Final. On the domestic scene, he was a member of the Leicestershire side that won the County Championship in 1998, acting as stand-in captain on occasions, and was a member of the Surrey team that won the Sunday League in 1996 and the Benson and Hedges Cup Final a year later. CLAIRMONTE CHRISTOPHER LEWIS was born in Georgetown, Guyana, on 14 February 1986, but went to school in Willesden, North London. -
It Was Seriously Mid That the Wanderen Controversy Cost Thc United Party
12. AVE ATQUE VALE 1943-1968 It was seriously mooted that the Wanderers controversy cost the United Party the 1948 election. Public opinion, earlier antagonistic to the Clubs resisting Railway intrusion in 1927, rallied almost unanimously on the side of the City Council and its protégé. It was not only the people who protested but the lessors who purveyed public amusement—the African Greyhound Racing Association, the cricket and soccer unions and athletics (tennis and rugby had gone to Ellis Park) and the incidental impresarios of all kinds. Public petitions were signed and in July 1943, the Johannesburg Publicity Association on the instruction of its Executive Committee issued a bilingual brochure SAVE THE WANDERERS. “It is the cradle of traditions which cannot be transplanted”, purple prose pronounced, “The front ground is hallowed by a thousand memories of great incidents and occasions. It has witnessed scenes from the days of President Kruger onwards which are the warp and woof of Rand history. Let us save this enviable civic possession.” Sturrock halted in his stride and appointed an overseas railway expert, Major-General Szlumper to survey the situation. Optimistically the Club anticipated a favourable report and proposed substantial alterations including the demolition of the old Club House and the erection of modern premises. The development of Kent Park continued, hampered by wartime restrictions, but a growing number of members made use of its tennis courts, golf course and playing fields. In the press of the moment, no one noticed that the Club’s founding chairman and original debenture holder, W. P. Taylor, had died. -

1893 to 1898 Part 3
BHRDCA Heritage BHRDCA Heritage – Catalogue Entry # 8 – January 2014 1882 to1902 Part 3 – 1893 to 1898 Part 3 looks at the period of the 1890’s depression when formal competition was suspended for five years. Any corrections, additions and any questions should be referred to Andy Lambert in the first instance at [email protected] Part 3 – The 1890’s Depression 1893-94 Despite the success of the Eastern District Trophy and the detailed report in June 1893 the ecomonic crisis of 1893 had suddenly taken hold and this had an immediate impact on Melbourne society, including cricket. On 30 January 1893 the Federal Bank failed and by May 1893 no less than eleven banks had suspended trading. As a result Victoria fell into a sudden sharp recession due to the collapse of land prices, speculations and holdings. Players were suddenly out of work and as a result clubs were unsure if they could field teams. This put the future of the Eastern District Trophy in doubt and by September 1893 no mention of the competition was made in the Reporter newspaper regarding the coming season and it appeared that the competition would not be held in 1893-94. The minutes of the Camberwell AGM held in September 1893 included the following note. It was decided not to enter for any trophy until at such time as the club was certain there was to be no local cup. Camberwell and Boroondara eventually entered the Sports Depot matting competition, in which clubs were knocked out by Christmas if they had not won enough games. -

This squad consists of two automatic rifle teams, and the corporal. Each team has one automatic rifleman and two carriers.
