I came across an entry in my diary for 24 August 2000 which had me completely…
…forgive the pun…
stumped.
17:00 Children’s Society, Regent’s Park
I couldn’t remember a thing about this event. It certainly wasn’t a Z/Yen thing.
Following some archaeology on the old e-mails, I ascertained that this was some sort of a match between The Children’s Society and Cable and Wireless; but still nothing came back to my memory.
It was clear from the e-mail trail that both Nigel and Chas had been involved with this match, so I wrote to both of them to see if they had any recollection of this event.
I needn’t have worried – yes they did.
Their replies were so comprehensive…
…and amusing…
…that with a little bit of sub-editing they made a very jolly two-hander for the King Cricket website, which published the piece in January 2018 – click here or below to read the piece.
If by any chance the King Cricket link doesn’t work, I have scraped the piece to here.
To my mind, this is one of the wonderful things about Ogblog – an opportunity to re-engage such memories. Sometimes an event that was not so memorable for me might have been, for some reason, especially memorable for someone else.
