Stovold's Mornington Crescent Almanac by Graeme Garden
As certain as the changing of the seasons, the new edition of Stovold's Almanac heralds the forthcoming season with a review of all things Mornington Crescent over the previous year. The third millennium proves no exception on this account, as the famous muddy-orange volume clocks up another year. Yet the 2002 edition, the 143rd, is something special in that this year's contributions include a retrospective on the career of retired Grand Master Raymond Crabbit. As always this new edition features the usual array of articles, facts, figures, reports and miscellany, all edited in a meticulous but lively manner by Graeme Garden. There is a look back at the 2001 convention in England, and a moving tribute to the late great West Indian Malcolm Herbert Lofthouse the creator of the Camden Corner Triple Play. With such breadth, the appeal is as clear as ever. As a true chronicler of the game, Stovold's has been unequalled for many years. Like its predecessors, the 2002 edition will bring pleasure to Mornington Crescent lovers the world over.
Doctor Graeme's Aberdonian roots are dyed a pleasing flesh colour. In 1968, while waiting in a queue for treatment at King's College Hospital, London, Graeme carelessly qualified as a doctor. Fame eluded him with The Goodies and the original idea for I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue was Graeme's, but he generously refuses to take all the blame.
