Cricketing in Fairford

Welcome to the Fairford Preservation Trust

The Fairford Preservation Trust was set up in the 1960s to preserve the old buildings in Fairford, Gloucestershire, UK, and promote the sympathetic design of the new ones.

In the 21st Century we still seek to stimulate public interest in the care for the beauty, history and the character of the area and its surroundings. We also aim to preserve the structure and life of the town.

The FPT Annual General Meeting was held on Friday April 13th 2012. After business, John Light, former Chairman of Gloucestershire County Cricket Club gave a very interesting and entertaining talk. He started cricketing with the Rodborough Village team with occasional appearances at other clubs in the area as well as playing for Reading University. He became a involved with Gloucestershire Exiles Cricket Club and on retirement from teaching got the perfect job for a cricket lover, working for MCC; showing visitors round the cricketing museum at Lord's between playing times and watching the cricket from the Long Room during play and being fed very well at the same time.
