The Sportsman's Dinner
CSCC's 150th year kicks off with the Sportman's Dinner on Friday 9th April taking place in a large marquee at Chipping Sodbury CC. This isn't just your usual club dinner, this is aimed at a really large audience and that's because we have some of the biggest names on the after dinner speech circuit.
To start off, we have one of the greats from the Rugby world, rugby union player Gareth Chilcott who played at prop for Bath and England, making his England debut against Australia in 1984. We asked him what he would usually be doing on a Friday night in April and Gareth told us "I go down the pub for a quiet pint followed by fifteen noisy ones!".
Following that up is another massive name, this time from the world of cricket! Who could forget in 1994 him ripping through the South African batting order to finish with figures of 9-57, still the 8th best individual bowling figures in Test history and a performance that undoubtedly contributed to his selection as one of Wisden's Five Cricketers of the Year in 1995.
Yes that's right for one night only we have Devon Malcolm. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Malcolm was one of England's few genuinely fast bowlers of the 1990s. Devon is now setting his sights on becoming an international umpire and is sure to entertain during his speech at Sodbury.
As well as the hugely entertaining speeches from Gareth Chilcott and Devon Malcolm, there is a gorgeous three course meal being prepared and cooked by a very successful local chef who on the night will actually be cooking for us at the CSCC venue.
