100 Years’ Cricket
It will be centenary year for Conisbrough Cricket Club next year, and discussions are already underway to decide the best way to celebrate this event.
A dinner dance will begin celebrations in April at the Phoenix Rooms, Rotherham. Other ideas are being collected by a special committee, but no final decision will be made until the annual meeting in November.
Club President, Mr. A. Chadwick, a teacher at Northcliffe school, Conisbrough, said, “We asked for ideas at the annual dinner last year and now we are mulling over them. We are hoping for gala days, a fair, garden party and special matches. If people are willing we will try to play a match in fancy dress.
“It has been suggested that we make a booklet to uncover the history of the club from records that are available.
“No other definite arrangements have as yet been made.”
