***April 2026 Season Update***
Geoff Miller OBE , 01 Apr 2026
Cheltenham Cricket Society brought its 2025/26 season to a memorable close with the return of Geoff Miller OBE, whose fourth appearance proved as engaging and entertaining as ever. Speaking to a packed Victory Club on a warm April evening, Geoff immediately set a relaxed tone, promising insight, humour, and reflection—and he delivered all three in abundance.
An outstanding evening, and a fitting finale to the season from one of cricket’s most genuine and captivating speakers.
Geoff also kindly donated a signed bat for which he conducted an auction in aid of Prostate Cancer UK. CCS member Gavin Davies successfully bid for the prized bat, signed by stars Joe Root, Ian Botham, Alistair Cook and James Anderson. All member donations and the generous winning bid by Gavin helped raise significant funds for the Prostate Cancer UK charity .
