NEW WINTER PROGRAMME FOR VIRTUAL CRICKET TALKS

NEW WINTER PROGRAMME FOR VIRTUAL CRICKET TALKS

NEW WINTER PROGRAMME FOR VIRTUAL CRICKET TALKS

Pitch Publishing are delighted to announce a second series of live virtual cricket talks, after the resounding success of the lockdown-inspired first series of 11 different talks, each relating to a new book for 2020.

Each talk will see be hosted by BBC cricket commentator and reporter Mark Church, and he will be joined by a different author for each of the talks. They will be free to join and open to all cricket fans and promoted to members of the cricket societies across the country.

Over the years our authors have regularly appeared to speak at events, with many scheduled to appear in person this year.

However, with the restrictions remaining in place due to the coronavirus pandemic, we have elected to continue with this new format, as it has proved hugely popular with fans and society members, and provided a fabulous form of entertainment through the summer and autumn months.

The 2020/21 winter programme will include a mix of backlist and new books due out in spring 2021, with the talks taking place on Friday evenings at 7.30pm and expected to last up to 90 minutes; each will also include a question-and-answer session for attendees.

The links will be published on the day of each talk, and circulated to interested societies ahead of each event to share with members by email or on social media channels.

If you wish to learn more about the titles and authors, or purchase those books to read ahead of the talks, please click the links below for further information.
