The guest speaker for the next meeting of the NCLS will be the new Warwickshire president, Dennis Amiss
Guest speakers for the next meeting will be Derbyshire's Heritage officer Dave Griffin and former Notts player and now Derbyshire's Anuj Dal the current vice chair of the PCA.
It'll soon be December and the next Nottingham Cricket Lovers’ Society meeting.
Andy Pick & Kevin Saxelby from Nottinghamshire’s 1987 double winning side will be the next guests of Nottingham Cricket Lovers’ Society.
Both were regulars in the Notts team which lifted both the County Championship & the NatWest Trophy, the County’s first triumph in a one day competition. Arguably the most successful in the Club’s history, the 1987 team also fell agonisingly short in the Sunday League finishing a close second to Worcestershire.
The next meeting of Nottingham Cricket Lovers’ Society is on Thursday 3 November in the Long Room at Trent Bridge – 7pm.
2022 is the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Society. It was founded in 1972 by Bryan ‘Bomber’ Wells, the former Gloucestershire (1951-59) and Nottinghamshire (1960-65) off-spinner. We will celebrate this with a presentation by cricket writer and publisher Stephen Chalke, on the life and career of Bomber Wells. Stephen has written many highly acclaimed cricket books and has won both the Cricket Society Book of the Year Award (2002) and the Wisden Book of the Year Award (2004 & 2008).
The meeting will begin with a short presentation from Notts CCC Heritage Officer, Steve LeMottee – ‘Cricket during the conflict – the story of Nottinghamshire CCC during World War Two.’
Membership of the Society cost £15 for the season or £5 for an individual meeting

Liam Patterson-White will be the guest speaker at Notts Cricket Lovers’ October meeting, reflecting upon a year in which the all-rounder won Nottinghamshire’s Uncapped Player of the Season award.
The meeting, held on Thursday 20 October at 7pm, will be the society’s first of the 2022/2023 season, and will take place in the Long Room at Trent Bridge.
Tickets to the evening are priced at £5, while a year-long subscription to Nottingham Cricket Lovers can be secured for £15, giving you entry to subsequent meetings scheduled monthly over the closed-season period.
Patterson-White enjoyed an excellent year in 2022, finishing as the top English wicket-taking spinner in either division of the LV= Insurance County Championship, as Nottinghanshire secured promotion to Division One.
The 23-year-old finished April alone with 18 wickets, and concluded the First-Class season with 41 wickets, the third most for any spinner across both divisions.
He added two fifties with the bat, averaging a touch under 24 in the lower-middle order, and was called up to represent England Lions in a four-day fixture against South Africa off the back of his red-ball performances.
His batting exploits proved particularly valuable in the Royal London Cup, where, in five innings, he made 141 runs, including an unbeaten 62 against Sussex Sharks. At Edgbaston, he showed his power-hitting ability with a 17-ball 43.
With the ball in the List A competition, the left-armer took 11 wickets at 26.27, maintaining an economy rate below five.
Tickets and memberships for the society can be bought on the night. For further details on the event, please email nottscricketlovers@outlook.com.

ReplyDeleteAn excellent night with LPW and others. Very well attended and well received . C. L . Society is now an amazing 50 years old . What a favour Bomber Wells did when setting the Society up all those years ago . A totally different age when even top players were paid peanuts ( relatively)
Yes I thought Liam spoke particularly well also. Was interesting he realises he has to put the hard yards in regarding his fitness levels after not being considered for team selection a few years back.
ReplyDeleteAnt Botha(when he was in charge of the 2nd Eleven a few years back) always said how good Liam’s work ethic is regarding practice and if you told him something that would improve his game, he would listen, take it onboard
and then go off and practice it.
Sadly said this was not the case with every young player he was trying to improve.
A perfect example for the under 18 age groups to show what can be achieved with his call up to the England Lions training programme.

Thanks for putting this on. I’ve not ventured back to cricket lovers ( or many other indoor things post pandemic). If there is any clever person out there who could stream it I’d be happy to pay a subscription to it . That said , I don’t know if there would be a particular high demand for it. And yes, salute the late Bomber Wells. Foxy

ReplyDeleteParticularly enjoyed Dennis Amiss last night.
Brilliant stories of Boyc’s, Lillee and Thommo and others.
Also, not one to just live in the past in their day, as was keen to heap praise on the astonishing Stokes/McCullum England resurgence and new ‘superstar’ Harry Brook.
