Well done on the publication of the book. Please put my name at the top of the list, I definately want one.

I would like to wish LSCA many happy returns for their 90th and hope that 2012 is a very special season for everyone connected with LSCA cricket. I hope to be around to see Centenary.

It is a real pleasure, especially on these cold days and nights, to read about all the activity surrounding schools and youth cricket in the county. Every boy/girl involved, at whatever level, will surely enjoy their games and I commend everyone who attends winter meeting to oil the wheels so that the show gets on the road in a well organised manner.

The under 15's game at Headquarters in May against the 'old enemy' will be the icing on the cake I am sure. The county officials have once again come up trumps and I for one would like to thank them for giving so many young players the chance to play at Old Trafford, a Test match venue, in front to their proud parents. It says thank you for all the hard work they put in.

The close connections that LSCA have with LCB have proven time and time again the value of good coaching and support these young people are getting, the proof of this is in the list of former LSCA players going onto play for the county and eventually England. It gives me much pride so say that as an umpire I have had a small part, a very samll, in the progress of some of these players.

The new buildings and stands at OT are progessing well, a far cry from late September on that windy day of the Ainsworth Trophy final with Bob the builder in all his dusty glory.

Thank you, and your team at LSCA. As an umpire I do appreciate all the efforts you all put in and I will certainly see you all through the coming season, hopefully.
