Second team captain Wally Monk, chairman Mr D. E. Birchall, Paul Tatton and secretary Peter Boyce-Kenyon enjoy a chat and drink at the reunion.

Prospects for the coming season were the topic of conversation when Read Cricket Club had a pre-season get-together at Simonstone Hotel on Wednesday. Hopes of a good season are certainly high after finishing joint second in the Ribblesdale League last year. Professional Paul Tatton, with last season's experience behind him, is expected to make a real impact in this his second season with the club.
