EAST RIDING CRICKET SOCIETY

In a change to our advertised programme , our October meeting features a Cricket Yorkshire Q&A with John Fuller (pictured right with ex-YCCC keeper Gerard Brophy), a cricket journalist with a difference. Fed up with 'mainstream cricket froth', John took matters into his own hands. He set up Cricket Yorkshire as a 'freelance cricket entrepreneur' four years ago and his site has since gone from strength to strength. 'Come armed with any and all questions,' says John with not a little trepidation. 'If it's to do with cricket, absolutely nothing's off limits. The point is to kick around topics you want answers to and have an intelligent debate.' John won't be ignoring topical news stories - Yorkshire’s Championship run, the Andrew Gale saga, England's troubled summer and the inevitable KP will all get an airing, but there's also chance to quiz him about his favourite interviews, grassroots sport, favourite grounds, photograph

Enjoyable chat last week with John Fuller (pictured here with  Yorkshire's Gerard Brophy) whose Cricket Yorkshire website is essential reading for players and supporters alike. Interviews, features and reviews focus on cricket at both county and club level - John's Xmas present ideas and James Buttler's 2012 highlights are particularly good reads at the moment. John is busy working on a revamp of the site - due to go live next month - and is planning a feature on the East Riding Cricket Society, as well as interviews with some of our speakers. He's also keen to hear more from clubs across the county. So if any East Yorkshire club out there has a story to tell, contact John .
