J. Chegwyn’s Touring Eleven v Cairns: Easter Monday 1952 Souvenir Programme
First Edition.
21cm x 14cm. 44 pages, black and white illustrations. Illustrated saddle-stapled wrappers.
Between 1939 and 1969 Chegwyn organised tours of leading Sydney cricketers to regional areas, during the war to raise money for war funds, but more broadly to enable country folk to see leading players and to give country players a chance to show off their talents. Despite the 30 years Chegwyn led these tours material relating to them is scarce. This Souvenir Program for Chegwyn’s tour to Cairns in 1952 contains short biographies of all of the players, a history of the Cairns Cricket Ground and other recollections of North Queensland cricket, miscellaneous cricket facts and humour, and advertisements for local businesses.
Minor foxing to wrappers. Very minor crease to crown fore-edge corner of wrappers upper panel. Very Good Condition.
