Facebook and Old Friends

Facebook has just entered my family and looking up old friends has become the thing to do.

My wife found that an old boyfriend of hers in now an M.P.

My daughter has linked up with lots of friends she has lost in the five years since leaving school.

I tracked down my old cricket club and details can be found on the website:

One of my old playing partners is leaving the club and I get a couple of mentions in his report.


I joined the club at the same time as he did when we were struggling to get two teams out, and I left when we had four teams with an occasional fifth. Now there are six full teams and a set of colts sides to push the club forward.

I was part of the committee that proposed buying the land and building a clubhouse, started raising funds and made applications to the National Lottery. It is gratifying to know that the acorn has grown into an Oak Tree and the clubhouse now has its own bar raising funds for the club.

I notice that international players are being notified not to apply for a place. That tells me how far forward the club has progressed. A young player that I introduced to the club is playing well and producing results in the first team now.

I must send an Email.
