The project has received about 100 photographs of teams, past players, the ground and pavilion and the changes that have taken place. We have recorded eighteen interviews with past players with memories reaching back to 1909.
We have received bats,balls, and trophies which have a particular significance and all this information has been placed on display at Hinckley Museum for this season. We were fortunate to make a contact in the USA who is a granddaughter of the 'Burbage professional player, Wilf Hall'. Wilf Hall was a most interesting character - born in 1891 the son the of licensees of the Cross Keys pub - he left the village in 1925 to play professional cricket in north Wales for the Parcian Club and then moved in 1931 to play at the Grange in Edinburgh. He died in 1960 still working as a coach and groundsman at Woodbridge school.
We have been able to give presentations to the local schools and several different organisations as well as putting on exhibitions in the village and currently having a display at the local Museum.
