David Harvey (statistician)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Q Harvey (born 1928) was the treasurer of the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians between 1985 and 1990, during which time sales and turnover increased by 40% as his and John Featherstone's efforts reaped their reward. A meticulous planner, Harvey had the daunting task in 1986 at his first AGM as Treasurer to propose that subscriptions be raised from £6 to £9, a long overdue increase and the first for four years. In spite of inflation and in particular mounting postal costs, five years elapsed before the subscription rose to £11 in 1991.

Harvey began his working life as a solicitor's clerk before moving into personnel management. He is now retired and apart from cricket and its research, he has a wide range of interests, which include gardening, walking, politics, music and the theatre. He was succeeded as treasurer by Jim Ledbetter.
