Brian was the Media and Marketing Officer for the Isle of Wight Cricket Board (IWCB), the governing body for cricket on the Island which is affiliated to the England and Wales Cricket Board. Visit the IWCB web site at www.isleofwightcricketboard.co.uk.

24 Island cricket clubs, are affiliated to the IWCB, and there are 12 non-affiliated teams - in total more clubs per square mile than anywhere in mainland England, making the locality an ideal mecca for touring teams. In 2003 one hundred and twenty teams toured the Island, from as far afield as South Africa and Australia.

Come and stay with us, and see for yourself what all the fuss is about!
