The Bucks Standard, September 28th 1895

CRICKET CLUB. The annual gathering of this club was held on Saturday last, September 21, in the Carrington School, when over 40 members and friends sat down to a meat tea. During the evening Capt. H. M. Williams kindly occupied the chair, and much of the success of the gathering was due to this gentleman. Mr. Brearley, the secretary and treasurer, gave a short resumé of the club’s doings during the season. Nine matches had been played, 4 won, 5 lost, with two games played between teams selected by the captain (J. West), and vice-captain (G. I. Coey) respectively. The club was on the right side in its finance. Members and friends contributed songs, &c., and the evening passed most pleasantly, many expressing a wish to have similar “socials” more frequently. A vote of thanks was accorded to those who had given substantial help to the club, and to Mr. Whiting for the use of his fields. Among the many friends present may be mentioned Mr. J. Pike (District Councillor), Mr. C. Whiting (Parish Councillor and Member of School Board), Mr. J. Olney (chairman of the parish Council) Messrs. Luing, Rainbow, and D. Cowley (Parish Councillors), together with Messrs. Pain, Greenwood, Compton, F. Amos, H. Cowley, and E. Powell. The services of Captain Williams in the chair were much appreciated.
