That n'all
I was a member at NMR for five years in the mid 70's. Saw some cracking tourist sides at the Scarborough Festival
Junior member that is
My firm used to be sponsors at the Scorborough Festival so I got to see just about every match & met the players. Remember Ken Rutherford hitting 300 in a day for New Zealand in the most explosive innings I have ever seen. Met some great guys - Desmond Hayes was a great laugh. So was Brian Close.
I was supposed to be entertaining but had a brilliant time although I couldn't drink as I had to take my guests home.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
