About this capture

COLLECTED BY

Organization: Internet Archive

These crawls are part of an effort to archive pages as they are created and archive the pages that they refer to. That way, as the pages that are referenced are changed or taken from the web, a link to the version that was live when the page was written will be preserved.

Then the Internet Archive hopes that references to these archived pages will be put in place of a link that would be otherwise be broken, or a companion link to allow people to see what was originally intended by a page's authors.

The goal is to fix all broken links on the web. Crawls of supported "No More 404" sites.

Collection: Wikipedia Near Real Time (from IRC)

This is a collection of web page captures from links added to, or changed on, Wikipedia pages. The idea is to bring a reliability to Wikipedia outlinks so that if the pages referenced by Wikipedia articles are changed, or go away, a reader can permanently find what was originally referred to.

This is part of the Internet Archive's attempt to rid the web of broken links.

TIMESTAMPS

Introduction

Wombwell Cricket Lovers' Society, founded in 1951, meet most Thursday's at Ardsley Oaks WMC near Barnsley in South Yorkshire between September and April each year. Meetings commence at 7.45pm and usually take the format of a talk by a cricket personality followed by a question and answer session. Guests from outside the cricketing world also make up the Society's winter programme. In addition to the weekly meetings, the Society also organises coaching award presentation evenings, a Christmas Sunday lunch event and, from time to time, a Spring Dinner.

Winter coaching classes began in 1953 with the aim of encouraging local cricket talent; and through the years a number of county and international players have emerged such as: Graham Stevenson, Arnie Sidebottom, Tim Boon, Martyn Moxon, and Darren Gough. Coaching awards are linked to the memory of former Society Patron's Brian Johnston and John Arlott and former Society officials Jack Sokell, Derek Moxon, David Musgrave and Eric Sykes.

Awards are presented annually to youngsters for batting, bowling, fielding, and wicketkeeping. The Society also presents a number of other annual awards including: Cricket Writer, Cricket Commentator, County Captain, Young Cricketer, and Cricketer of the Year as well as a Wicketkeeper of the Year award and one in memory of Learie Constantine for Fielder of the Year. Other local cricket awards are also presented on occasions.

In addition to the weekly meetings, dinners, coaching classes, and awards the Society also produces its own annual publication. The Twelfth Man (first issued in 1954) is an A4 style magazine which includes a number of feature articles, reviews the Society's winter meetings, news, provides details of award winners, and book reviews. Each year the magazine also includes a special tribute section to a post-war cricket personality. Recent tributes have included David Gower OBE in 1995, a joint tribute to Denis Compton CBE and Keith Miller MBE in 1996, Mike Gatting OBE in 1997 and 1999 a joint tribute to former Yorkshire & England cricketers Don Wilson and Philip Sharpe. A 50th Anniversary edition was published in 2001 and a very special Diamond Anniversary edition is planned for September 2011 when the Society celebrates sixty years of 'cricket loving'.
