It is with the deepest sadness that we announce the passing of our President, Keith Hayhurst. Our thoughts are with Keith’s family at this time.
Tributes will be posted here and in our magazine in due course.

Celebrations marking the 38th Anniversary of the CMS had only just begun to subside when the latest magazine from our Society began its journey to doormats around the world!
Two iconic venues have announced their summer cricket memorabilia markets. Gloucestershire CCC’s Cheltenham Festival will be the venue for a memorabilia market on July 31st, following Worcestershire’s Memorabilia Market on Saturday 24th May. CMS Members welcome at both events!
Details for the Worcester are available from Richard Brown, and for the Cheltenham Festival event from Ken Burney.
CMS Members will recall receiving an email recently asking for help in finding a suitable Lord’s-related gift. The cavalry surging over the hill appeared in the guise of CMS Member Andy Collier, who not only offered the Lord’s Turf sample pictured here, but generously donated proceeds to the Alzheimer’s Society.
CMS ‘Loud Appeals’ often result in positive outcomes! Heartfelt thanks to Andy for his response to this request for help!
The final meeting of our winter programme was held at Grace Road, Leicester. Our guests Peter Willey and John Abrahams, pictured here, stole the show with their honest and often amusing reflections on their own (and each other’s!) careers. Our sincere thanks to Peter and John; their contributions both on and off the field of play should be an inspiration to those who follow in their footsteps.
