Congratulations were expressed by delegates, and Wombwell CLS offered to take the quiz to other societies. The winner obtained 35 points of a possible 43, a tremendous achievement, as questions covered a wide range of cricket subjects, ancient and modern. We heartily congratulate Derek Lodge, and thank Mr Sokell for organising the evening, and question-master Tony Woodhouse, who obviously put in hours of work compiling the questions. Mr Sokell, Secretary of the society, has asked if council might like to present a trophy. The Treasurer said this would be reasonable from a financial point of view.
Winners are to be recorded retrospectively, and then annual.
It will be called The Council of Cricket Societies Trophy. This will be investigated by Wombwell. The Secretary has suggested the quiz might move around the country. Wombwell will consider this, provided that the expenses of two organisers were paid by the host society, together with the cost of a replica of the trophy. The Northern CS suggested, and others agreed, that council should ensure the quiz moves.
