That's the title of a new exhibition about the history of East Bierley Cricket Club.

The display, which will be erected in the club's South View Road pavilion, has been researched and designed by the Cricket Heritage Project team at the University of Huddersfield.

They were awarded a grant of £50,000 by the Heritage Lottery Fund to explore the heritage of cricket in Kirklees - and East Bierley is their latest exhibition.

"It's been very enjoyable to research the heritage of East Bierley CC," said project leader Dr Peter Davies, a senior lecturer in History at the university.

"The club was founded in 1865 and has had a very eventful history: they've won lots of Bradford League titles and Priestley Cups and had an array of star players including current Yorkshire captain Anthony McGrath.

"They also went to Lord's in 1979 and won the National Village Trophy - which was a red letter day!"

The exhibition has been researched by Dr Davies and Philip Dobson, a History student at the university.

It includes archive images, old newspaper cuttings and photos - and re-lives all the memorable events in the history of the club.

The exhibition will be launched at a special event at the East Bierley pavilion on Friday 22 May, 8pm. All welcome.

The cricket season is upon us and starts this Saturday 18^th April.

EBCC 1^st XI vs Saltaire (Away)
EBCC 2^nd XI vs Bowling Old Lane (Home)

Both matches start at 1pm.

Please note the following restrictions for Saltaire...

Car Parking Restrictions in Roberts Park Season 2009
The £4.5m refurbishment of Roberts Park was started in February 2009 by contractors Casey Construction Ltd. This has inevitably brought some necessary adjustments to the organisation of the Park for the 2009 season. The work will be finished in April 2010 by which time the Park will be of a standard fitting a World Heritage Centre. This includes the building of a new bandstand, refurbishment of all the buildings and shelters including the Lodge. The Half Moon, the Cricket Club’s clubhouse, will be knocked into one large area and will become a cafe/bar with new toilets and a kitchen/servery area. Work on the Half Moon will not commence until after the end of the 2009 season and it will remain open as usual for refreshments.

The committee of Saltaire Cricket Club has, therefore, announced revised car parking arrangements in Roberts Park this season following advice from Bradford Council and the contractors. This basically means that there will be no cars allowed in the Park, including players’ and officials’ cars. The exception to this is for pre-arranged deliveries, the groundsman and for disabled persons by pre-arrangement (see below for details).

The following arrangements should ensure the enjoyment of spectators visiting Roberts Park and provide adequate parking for cars adjacent to Roberts Park, as with a number of other clubs within the league where it is not possible to accommodate cars within the ground. Our experience so far is that people are using the playing fields as normal. There were large crowds of people over Easter.

Players, Officials & Spectators are advised to park in the following places:

• Roadside parking is available on Higher Coach Road, opposite the old Salt School Car-Park, entering the Park through this entrance. It is only a short walk to the Half Moon and cricket ground from this entrance. Please note that this road is a bus-route and visitors should park on the side of the road nearest to the Park, so as not to restrict the buses.
• There will be a new large car park at Salt Grammar School, Higher Coach Road (which is the process of being completed) that is almost directly opposite a side entrance to Roberts Park. The club is negotiating with the school to be able to use this car park.
• There are also car parks in Saltaire itself, within walking distance to the ground over the river footbridge.

By Bus: The ground is on bus route 627 (Shipley Glen/Coach Road) from the Bradford Interchange or Shipley Market Square to Higher Coach Road; or route 662 to Saltaire and walk down Victoria Road and river footbridge.

By Train: From Forster Square Station, Frizinghall, Leeds or Shipley stations alight at Saltaire. Then walk down Victoria Road and over the river footbridge to Park.

Disabled persons
Drivers with official disabled badges will be allowed to park in Roberts Park by the side of the Half Moon only by pre-arrangement , at least one day before the match, on request to Geoff Porter, Club Secretary 01274 826177 (Mobile 07948535639), email: gnporterone@blueyonder.co.uk. These badges must be displayed on the vehicle.

Seating for spectators is provided; we are negotiating with the Council for permanent seating around the entire ground. It is also possible to watch in comfort from inside the Half Moon café, the 2 lounges and the balcony in the Pavilion.

We thank everyone for bearing with us during this work which when finished will make Roberts Park a venue which the Bradford League can be justly proud.

Geoffrey Porter, Secretary, Saltaire CC, 14/04/2009

Due to the success of opening up early for the Cheltenham Festival last year, we are once again going to be showing the races on the big screen here at EBCC.

We will be opening up from 1pm on Tuesday, 10^th March through to Friday, 13^th March. So if you are one of the lucky ones and have managed to book that week off work, then come on down and see all the action with all your friends in comfort at East Bierley Cricket Club.

Please remember, if you bring a non-member to the club then you must sign them in.

The 4^th annual EBCC Sportsman's Dinner was a great success all thanks to the great preparations mainly by the Ladies Committee, who also did all the wonderful food, and support by the general committee and club members who helped with the set-up (and clearing). The club secretary, Philip McKirgan, has supplied 2 photographs that can be seen in the new gallery section.
