From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cricket Society is an organization founded as the Society of Cricket Statisticians at Great Scotland Yard in London, England in 1945 ,which brings cricket lovers together from every walk of life and every level of the game to share their love and passion and to foster this interest in others. Through its charitable trust, it raises money to coach underprivileged children cricket. They link up with various organizations, such as the Arundel Castle Cricket Foundation, in achieving these aims. The Society has a cricket eleven who play at a number of venues and they also hold monthly meetings for their members at venues in London, Bath, Birmingham and Durham at which invited speakers address the audience. The Society publishes a Journal and regular News Bulletin.
