By kind permission of the Publishers (Penguin Random House) who ‘have no objection to the use of material’ on the website and the family of the author of The Somerset Cricket Quiz Book, Mr. Bob Crampsey, who was an ardent supporter of Somerset Cricket Club and who died in 2008, questions (and answers) from the book will be published at intervals as both a bit of fun and the education of our visitors.
Siobhan Crampsey, Bob’s daughter, wrote “On behalf of the family, I’m happy to give you permission to use the book however you would wish. Dad would be so delighted to know it was benefitting the club in any way whatsoever. He was such an ardent supporter and never happier than when he was at a match. I used to join him in Bath/Taunton when I lived in London and Mum (still with us and approaching her 93rd birthday) also spent many happy hours supporting. Siobhan.”
We are also very grateful to Mr. Mark Gladman and Mr. Matt Kingdom, who not only have contributed to the Somerset Women Cricketer pages but also have compiled Christmas quizzes.
The questions cover Girls and Women’s Cricket at Somerset, plus a few questions on Regional Cricket in the area, and England Women’s Cricket. And are arranged in that sequence. Largely all themed around Somerset, Somerset Players, & matches at Taunton. Many of the answers can be found on this website
