Book of the Week
On Sunday 20th June, at West Wycombe cricket ground, the Society's cricket team took on the Gold Bats of the P. G. Wodehouse Society in the 10th anniversary match of this famous fixture. During the lunch interval, a commemorative brochure entitled Wycombe Wonders was launched and distributed to players and supporters of both sides. Written by Nick Utechin, with a Foreword by team captain Peter Horrocks, it tells a tale of cricketing adventures, disasters and occasional glories, charting the eight matches played up to 2010 (there was too much rain in 2007), it is a bucolic and not wholly serious additon to the Society's publishing rosta - an item that deserved a wide readership (and you don't need to understand the official cricket rules of 1895 to appreciate the dramas). It was published under the auspices of Bob Ellis in an edition of 221B unnumbered copies, is beautifully illustrated and the Society has a number available for purchase at £3.00 plus postage. It could be that if you buy this enticing little booklet, it might impel you to come to West Wycombe next year to enjoy the atmosphere, the sun, the camaraderie and the bottles! If you did, you would see how the Society’s team might improve on what is now a lead in victories over our opponents. |
