rif. 147305Very Good. Octavo a card bifolium with the programme and menu printed on the two middle pages. In excellent condition. The front cover is signed by David Hookes the guest speaker for the evening. David Hookes 1955-2004 made his first-class debut with South Australia in 1975-76; he was state captain from 1981 to 1990 and retired in 1992. He played in 23 Tests between 1977 and 1985 with a World Series Cricket career in between in 1977-79. 'Natural aggressive and irrepressible David Hookes was an Australian cricketer of the 1970s who remained one into the 21st century. Not that he was a reactionary or relic; on the contrary he was a savvy media performer and an innovative coach. But he had throughout his career a breezy confidence that recalled days when cricket was a more spontaneous and flamboyant affair. It was while indulging in the oldest of Australian rites the post-match drink that Hookes was killed in circumstances still shocking in their senselessness by a bouncer's gratuitous punch on January 19 2004 aged 48' Gideon Haigh in his 'Wisden' obituary. unknown
