Playing members of Bideford and District Cricket Club

are photographed with their new scoreboard, the gift of Mr John R Gillespie, manager of the Westward Ho! Holiday Centre.

The new scoreboard is Mr Gillespie’s answer to the difficulties which hitherto faced visitors and spectators generally who, unless, they asked endless questions, had little idea of the state of the game or even the names of the teams playing.

Those appearing in the photograph are: Mr J R Gillespie, Messrs. A Robinson, A Bidgood, R Parsons, Ray Bird, P Hawke, R Waldon, S Pidler, G Waldon, S Young, R Mills, R Swain and G Bayliss.
