In an attempt to raise much needed funds, some of those loyal players, fans and officials associated with BIACC have taken to the literary word to swell the coffers. Titles now available include:
Herschel and Me – Andrew Walker – the touching tale of the unlikely friendship between the modern day cricketing legend and……some South African bloke.
Merv and Me – Phil Atkinson -on a similar theme to Drew’s effort this tells of the association between Phil and Australian legend Merv Hughes. For the value-conscious please note that this is a much slimmer volume than Drew’s.
Its only a game lads! – Ed Payne – Ed explains his theory on how to keep calm on the cricket field. Contains a foreword by Brendan White.
****ing Cricket – Julie White –Julie talks in her own words about her long struggle battling the effects of Tourettes Syndrome. Contains strong language.

On a slightly different note, you will be delighted to learn of the long awaited launch of Dave Meek’s warm up and fitness video. This is available in both VHS and Betamax with running time of 4hrs 20. This is a real-time exercise regime that walks (literally!) you through Meeky’s warm up on the morning of the match. Reasonably priced at £4.99 please watch out for the £25 delivery charge. This is unavoidable as the pack contains a 6ft length of picket fence, an industrial size tub of equine liniment, and 4 metres of elasticated bandages.
