JIM Eyles, now 88 and still captain of Midsomer Norton Cricket Club, continues to raise money for various charities.
Most recently he held his 35th annual cricket match at the club’s ground between Midsomer Norton Methodist’s cricket team and a side of guests invited by him.
A good number of supporters came along and enjoyed a sumptuous tea, prepared by Helen Green and friends.
Many of Midsomer Norton’s players are members of Jim’s family. Among them, grandson James Green is team captain and son in law Stuart Green and grandson in law Mark Robinson are vice-captains.
Grand-daughter Darcey Robinson is captain of Midsomer Norton ladies team and sometimes ropes in mum Charlene when needing an extra player.
Jim’s son Craig and grandson Logan are Methodist team players and second son Gavin played in the recent fund-raiser at the club’s ground.
