EXETER SPORTING CLUB SUMMER 2014 DINNER

@ The Thistle Rougemont Hotel

Queen St, Exeter

Wednesday 11th June

7 - 11. 45pm

With special guest  former England cricketer MATTHEW HOGGARD MBE. A Leeds-born medium-fast bowler and right-handed batsman, "Hoggie" played initially for his local Club Bradford League before spending 13 seasons at Yorkshire CCC until 2009. He then captained Leicestershire from 2010 until his retirement last year. Along the way he won 67 England caps, the first in 2000, and also played in 26 One Day Internationals.

Working alongside Matthew in a quasi double act will be CHRIS COWDREY. The eldest cricketing son of England legend and life peer Colin (The Lord) Cowdrey (of Tonbridge) CBE, Chris was an all-rounder who played for Kent for 15 seasons until 1991. With only 6 England caps and 3 One Day Internationals to his name, some say he was unfairly treated in 1988 when, elected England Captain for the 4th Test of a 5 match Series against the West Indies who were already 2-0 up, England lost heavily by 10 wickets. After that one appearance he was injured and never chosen to captain or play for England again. For many years since, Chris has enjoyed a well-deserved reputation as an outstanding raconteur.

Bringing up the rear is JOSH DANIELS. Originally intent on becoming a professional musician, Josh's inate sense of humour began to take over and he started to write and perform his own unique brand of stand-up comedy. He has since established a fine reputation up and down the country as a versatile and talented entertainer who is particularly at home in the corporate and after-dinner market.

An event not to be missed!
