Cricket Development Trust Scotland

Our evening was a fantastic one in the company of the inimitable Henry Blofeld, who - in two parts either side of drinks and canapes at The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh's Symposium Building - royally entertained over 100 guests and supporters of the Trust with stories and anecdotes from both his life, and long love of, and career in, cricket.

Chaired by Richard Rutnagur, one of our Trustees, and long-time friend of Blowers, the evening meandered, entertainingly, through childhood days, school and university escapades, and a long career in cricket journalism and broadcasting, with stops along the way for Ian Fleming, Noel Coward, Britt Ekland, Mick Jagger, and Sophia Loren, to name but a few of the support actors to a fabulous life!

So another great fund-raising event is over, and the Trust's thanks go, again, to our loyal friends and supporters for their generosity, and to Blowers for a fantastic evening that surpassed its billing. Look out for our next event, as we continue to strive to promote and support the education, development, and wellbeing, of children and young people, in particular, in Scotland, through the game of cricket.
