SIR - Following the recent reports of our demise could I please comment as follows:

So many thanks are needed to Andy and Nick Griggs for their help over just too many years. Also to Charlie Hainsworth for all he has done for the Club and particularly the ground in recent years.

The efforts of our Captain, Andy Gudgeon, and Vice Captain, Charles Briggs, over a number of years are obvious and have been much appreciated by all connected to the club.

Over the years we have made so many friends in the Bradford Mutual Sunday School League, Bradford Central League and more recently the Craven League. All will be treasured and never forgotten - the memories will always remain.

Personally I would like to thank Ann and Trevor Coe for all their help and support over a number of years. The Craven League has never been the same without them.

Finally can I thank all the people who have sent me and the club so many nice messages - so kind and totally reciprocated.

Les Gudgeon, Secretary, Haworth Road Methodist Cricket Club
