The November monthly draw for the Glenpark Supporters Prize Draw (GSPD) was carried out on Saturday 25th November 2023 by Joan Gray. The four lucky winners were Crawford Fisher, Tony Church, Kenny Godsman and Alan Holms.

Congratulations to everyone on their win!

The next draw will take place on Tuesday 26th December 2023 for the usual prizes. The Boxing Day jackpot will also be drawn at that time and it is hoped that there will be a good turnout of members to enjoy the festive spirit and witness these draws.

We are always looking for new members to join the draw, the receipts from which are used to improve the facilities of the Club for all members. If you wish to join, please contact Brian Papworth using the details to be found at the Contacts link at the top of this page.

The 1st XI averages have now been calculated and can be found at this link. The cumulative records for the Club stretching back to 1931 have also been updated.

The October monthly draw for the Glenpark Supporters Prize Draw (GSPD) was carried out on Saturday 28th October 2023 by Brian Roberts. The four lucky winners were Charlie Loftus, Dave Cunningham, Stuart Coils and Alex Wooler.

The 2023 Awards Evening was held on Saturday 26th August when the clubhouse was packed to see a number of awards handed out to players and supporters. Gregor Chambers was chosen as the Players 1st Player of the Year while Emily Norris was accorded the same honour for the Glenpark XI. Sam Sanghera was named the Club Player of the Year in recognition of his whole-hearted enthusiasm over the season.

Thanks are due to Peter Hempsey for penning this article that documents all the awards that were handed out and to Angela Prabhu for taking photographs throughout the evening. More of her photographs have now been added to the article.

In 2020, when no cricket was played due to the Covid-19 outbreak, a number of articles relating to the history of the Club were published on the website. These can be read via this link.

The Club records have been updated again, this time to cover the years from 1931 to 1937. Each year that has been added to the archives has a summary of all games played by the 1st XI together with full averages, selected scorecards and a short review of the season. The cumulative records of the Club have also similarly been updated.

This new update covers the years when the Club's professional was Reg Hollingdale, from Sussex, who can reasonably be claimed to be one of the best professionals employed by the Club. During this time, the Club won the Western Union title on two occasions while there were any number of memorable games, not least the time when Jack Hobbs played at Glenpark in June 1935. 1937, though it did not result in title or cup success, was a year when there were some outstanding personal performances, such as John Kerr hitting two centuries in four days at the age of 52.

As with previous updates, there a number of caveats that need to be kept in mind and these are detailed in this brief article.

Work will now start on the next update which is likely to cover the years from 1925 to 1930.
