The front cover is signed by David Hookes, the guest speaker for the evening. David Hookes (1955-2004) made his first-class debut with South Australia in 1975-76; he was state captain from 1981 to…1990, and retired in 1992. He played in 23 Tests between 1977 and 1985, with a World Series Cricket career in between, in 1977-79. 'Natural, aggressive and irrepressible, David Hookes was an Australian cricketer of the 1970s who remained one into the 21st century. Not that he was a reactionary or relic; on the contrary, he was a savvy media performer and an innovative coach. But he had throughout his career a breezy confidence that recalled days when cricket was a more spontaneous and flamboyant affair. It was while indulging in the oldest of Australian rites, the post-match drink, that Hookes was killed in circumstances still shocking in their senselessness, by a bouncer's gratuitous punch, on January 19 [2004], aged 48' (Gideon Haigh, in his 'Wisden' obituary). Signed.
