News of two AWOL members

[vim]

On BBC Essex early Tuesday morning there was a dedication wishing happy birthday to David Orriss of Colchester from your friend Philip. So if you were wondering about them they appear safe and well.

Not gone on vacation to the Ukraine?

Watching the Athletics from Germany I saw someone wearing an Essex CCC cap. There were two members who you would see regularly in the County ground.

At least at the Athletics unlike a test match you would see some winners from GB.

Sadly I haven’t been able to get to the County Ground since 2019, and the way my health is going I don’t see me getting there this year. Just maybe next assuming there’s reasonable disabled parking, and I can find someone to drive me.

Another member sighting. On BBC East today there was a news story about Greater Anglia Railways. Brian Waller of Colchester and the Tom Pearce Lower was on film leaving a train at Colchester station.

 Saw and spoke to Brian at the football, he has a health issue, which requires regular attendance at the hospital.

In a story in the Evening Echo about a proposed housing development. There is a photograph of somebody who looks familiar. If that is the person, then they are a relativity high worth individual. Unlike a few others they mix with at the County ground, who definitely are not and may well be having Spaghetti Hoops for Christmas dinner.

In the Wisden Cricketer there was a news item about Graham Gooch, I believe a honorary life member. He has just been given a new knee.

He got plenty of mileage, out of the old one.

In the Echo, amongst the list of people up before the Magistrates, there is the name of a former member. He was involved with benefits and other events, and left due to differences of opinion over a number of matters.

He was caught, driving his car too fast.

The news that Andy Davenport had died was delivered at the last game. Andy Davenport and his father, used to operate the old scoreboard and would be seen doing this at the festival grounds.

Andy Davenport, collected Football programmes. His mother gave a figure of how much the collection was valued at, for insurance purposes.

They are due to be auctioned shortly, and from the above. They are not the ones that gather dust in non league Football club shops. That are only useful for recycling.

Are you on drugs?

[vim]

No, I am not on drugs. Watch Bargain Hunt and see the expert tell the contestants, to avoid programmes before the 1970s. As the selling price is not worth, the auctioneer getting his gavel out of its box.

Perhaps you should try a real live auction yourself selling football memorabilia. I have and what you ( or your so called Bargain Hunt experts ) say is utter crap. Seen loads of pre 1970 programmes go for serious money.

Re reading, it should have said post 1970s.

Something, that is making blood boil. Is a Football club, not issuing a printed programme. I can remember when programmes were printed for One day games.
