Carmel Cricket Club
It is not cricket weather, but I came across this old photograph of a cricket match at Carmel taken on a proper summers day. The image dates from 1982 and shows a game taking place at the Golch Farm ground. The club now plays on a new and much better ground two miles up the road towards Lloc. Yet the memory of Golch Farm matches remains in my mind. The games were always preceded by a grand pick of sheep droppings by willing (?) volunteers.

Carmel Cricket Club in the '70's: sheep shit, big slopey pitch, short boundary for easy 6 hitting, Stan Taylor on the boundary, motorists shouting "Howzat" all Saturday - as if they were the first people to think of such wacky commentary. Great place to visit, as it wasn't too difficult to get back to deeside.
