The Lord’s Taverners Blind Cricket. National championships are now conducted annually and are held in an agreed centre around Australia.
In keeping with the Taverners’ creed to give the young and disadvantaged a sporting chance, the Newcastle branch has financially assisted a range of athletes since its inception.
This new book by John (nicknamed ‘Trunkie’) FRYER, an Australian and NSW Veteran cricketer, is a novel. It has been written as a first-hand account of the trials and tribulations of Dr. W. G. Grace, the ‘best ever’ English cricketer. Dr. Grace’s Gnome was launched in late September 2019 and all proceeds go to Hunter (Hunter Region, NSW) Branch of Lord Taverners Australia.
I am sure all readers will find historical facts of which they may not have been aware and many of the 85 photographs are from rare and varied collections. The novel is slightly over 61,000 words and is printed in a large format A4 size so that many of the images can be better appreciated.
The Foreword has been written by former Australian Test player Rick McCosker, and he has personally signed each copy.
