Jim & The Scarecrow Competition

Pictured above on the Village Green, is the President of Christleton Cricket Club Jim Partington and the Scarecrow cricketer made by Iris Foster to publicise the 2005 Village Show. I’m offering a prize of a bottle of wine to the reader who can provide the best sound bite, of the words that might be being exchanged between them. Please send your suitable suggestions to me at 25 Croft Close Rowton Chester CH3 7QQ, or e mail to Davidandberyl@aol. com and the winning entry will be published in the September edition. Next month I will give a plausible explanation for the rumour currently going around, that W G Grace played cricket in Christleton in the 1870’s.
