Calling all KEAWYEDS, HOWFENERS, and the Wingates Band players diaspora: If you haven’t yet seen the band’s extensive 150th ANNIVERSARY EXHIBITION at WESTHOUGHTON LIBRARY do try to visit before 31 October, as such a remarkable collection of material won’t ever be seen again…

[David Kaye @dkaye43]

Calling all KEAWYEDS and brass band lovers everywhere: if you haven’t yet visited “THE WINGATES BAND STORY” (WLHGs expansive exhibition @ WESTHOUGHTON LIBRARY.) we urge you to do so soon, & take a walk “DOWN WINGATES WAY” to discover some fascinating facts about our iconic band..

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS from all at LOSTOCK CRICKET CLUB to our 1st XI scorer, MICHAEL ‘MITCH’ CREGAN on his selection as England’s ‘man in the box’ for arguably the most eagerly anticipated cricket match of all time: The 4th ASHES TEST MATCH at Old Trafford starting on Wednesday…

[David Kaye @dkaye43]

Huge thanks to The Bolton News for the splendid spread in Wednesday’s “Looking Back“ section, profiling LOSTOCK CRICKET CLUB’S tribute and memorial to its first professional, REUBEN SNAPE (19 63–1965), who died in Brisbane, Australia, aged 92

@LucyMaxwell For an owd chap, I suppose I'm in reasonable shape (using the term very loosely, of course!), but what about you & yours?..We haven't been in touch since the Titanic sank, have we?!..I reckon the boys must be older than you now?!

[David Kaye @dkaye43]

A thousand thanks to all in WESTHOUGHTON LOCAL HISTORY GROUP for the surprise news that I reached a 3rd special milestone in May (after my 80th birthday and 60 years with LOSTOCK C.C.): namely 5 years as chairman of our marvellous local heritage group (1 of 2)….

[David Kaye @dkaye43]

(2 of 2)… and particular thanks to PHIL WOOD for compiling a truly unique & cherished gift: A stunning compilation of superb photographs taken during my years ‘in the chair’, and a graphic reminder of what a wonderful journey I am on, helping to chronicle HOWFEN’S HISTORY!!

[David Kaye @dkaye43]

@lostockstats @whalleycc Indeed so...It was a great pleasure for LCC to host WHALLEY C.C. as our first 'foreign' visitors...

[David Kaye @dkaye43]

@lostockstats @DanVincent94 What a privilege it was to experience this game...Cricket at its magical best!!
