Lancashire Cricket Board: Jim Cumbes Tribute Dinner

Jim Cumbes Tribute Dinner
================================================================================
Dipesh Asher on 15/11/2012 11:33:00

Join us for what promises to be a great evening as we celebrate Jim's fifty
years in sport and bid him farewell as he retires after 25 years at Old
Trafford.

Jim has enjoyed a varied professional football career as a goalkeeper with
Tranmere Rovers, West Bromwich Albion, Aston Villa and Southport as well as a
successful cricketing career with Lancashire, Surrey, Worcestershire &
Warwickshire - quite an achievement.
After his playing career ended, Jim was appointed as Warwickshire’s first
Commercial Manager in 1982 before returning to Old Trafford as Sales & Marketing
Manager in 1987 and became Chief Executive in 1998.  He was instrumental in
forming the LCCC Development Association in 1994 which has raised over £2
million towards the development of cricket throughout the County and has been at
the forefront of the Club’s massive redevelopment project.
One of his last remaining acts in his role as Chief Executive before his well
deserved retirement was to help organise this final fundraising dinner which
sees one of his all-time favourite speakers Steve Kindon  return to Old Trafford
to entertain us with his unique brand of after dinner speaking. The very
entertaining Vince Miller is our MC for the evening, whilst John Gwynne will
conduct a short interview with Jim during the evening.
The dinner will take place in The Point at Old Trafford on Monday 10th December
2012 (7.15 for 7.45pm) and tickets are just £30 each which includes a three
course meal. To book please contact Amanda Worley on 0161 282 4053 or download a
