Geoff Miller evening

Geoff Miller evening, Friday Aug.10th, probably at Weir Bank in Bray (we are still working out the details, but the clubhouse is not big enough for this function). Geoff Miller spent 20 years on the professional cricket circuit representing Derbyshire, Essex, Natal and England. He travelled to all the major Test-playing countries and played with or against some of the greatest players in the game - to which he freely admits: "I wasn’t one of them!" In his own words: "I was a comparatively boring bread and butter cricketer who was only selected in the team to allow all the brilliant flair players to perform with freedom". Having said that, he did play in 34 Test Matches; 25 One Day Internationals; 7 Overseas Tours; Scored over 14,000 runs; was captain of Derbyshire and Vice Captain of England; took over 1000 wickets and held over 300 catches - so he couldn’t have been all that bad!

Apart from cricket, Geoff’s greatest attribute was the ability to keep his team-mates amused with his hilarious dry Northern humour. This is the main event of the season, hosted by Michael Parkinson, our President. It will be informal, tables of 10, with a good supper provided. Tickets will probably be @ £50/60 a head. This will be an excellent chance for you to meet Parkie, and have a very enjoyable evening.
