- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 22 Jan, 2026 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: RICKY ELLCOCK  A BARBADIAN WHO PLAYED FOR WORCS CCC, MIDDLESEX CCC &amp; ENGLAND

This will be a fascinating evening.  With a reputation for being one of the fastest bowlers in the land, Ellcock’s hopes of playing Test cricket for England were cruelly shattered by injury and he was forced to pursue another career.  His childhood interest in aviation was to save him. Ellcock relocated to the USA and qualified as a commercial airline pilot, becoming the first black captain with Virgin Atlantic. Ellcock’s autobiography 'BALLS TO FLY' is a must-read.  It is unsparing and hard-hitting, revealing a lifetime spent overcoming biases, prejudices and racism, not to mention being saved from death by receiving four life-saving brain operations in the space of eight weeks. It charts one man’s extraordinary story of determination, endeavour and resilience.

We shall be auctioning a red ball signed by fellow-Barbadian Wes Hall on the night to the highest bidder!
