A reminder to readers who may remember Brownhills Cricket Club that Dave Slatcher is still looking for former member s to hold a reunion some point in the future.
As an incentive, former Brownhills cricketer and local teacher Eryl Powell has dug out yet another interesting team photo of a 70s Brownhills XI – the fact that Superalloys chimney is still visible on the skyline behind them will help date this wonderful image, I’m sure.
We’ve covered Walsall Wood cricket a fair bit here over the years, but nothing much about Brownhills which I find surprising.
Former Brownhills Cricket Club member Dave Slatcher is proposing a Brownhills Cricket Club Reunion, which seems like a cracking idea to me.
He wrote:

I’ll then collate names to try and sort a date and venue…
You can also find Dave on Facebook here.
In the meantime,

Hi Bob, fourth from the left on the back row is Bernard Marigold – I think he lost a toe after being hit by a cricket ball during a match one year.

That was the sort of guy he was. Always had a smile on his face.
