The guest of honour was Alec Skelding, the Leicestershire fast bowler of the inter-War years, who became a first-class umpire in 1931.

21 x 14cm. Stapled booklet. Signed by Skelding to his biographical page. A letter from his fellow umpire Bill Bratby, who was also a guest at the evening, is slipped in, along with a Press cutting relating all the evenings events. Very good condition.
