M.A. Noble Lecture

Manly Warringah District Cricket Club | August 22, 2024

To help foster the game in the local Manly Warringah District, the club's 1922/23 Committee arranged for Monty Noble, at the time one of the countries most decorated cricketers, to deliver one of his popular lectures on cricket at the Victoria Hall on 23rd March 1923. The Mayor MC'd the night, and over 200 lovers of the game attended, and were well repaid for their attendance as Noble’s talk and illustrations proved both instructive and interesting.

Cover shows a letter sent to the Manly Daily Editor by the Club's Secretary, Roy Bubb, outlining the evening.
