With great regret I have to inform you that our President Norman Hazell MBE has passed away.
The family have asked me to circulate the funeral arrangements and these are that Norman’s funeral will be on Monday 21 November at 1pm at St Austin’s Wentworth Terrace Wakefield.

Norman was our MYSCL President from 2010 but he was also President, and very much a part of, the MYSCL forerunner, the Wakefield District Cricket Union. He was very proud that WDCU reached 125 years and he was equally proud of MYSCL.
Norman fully supported our League in providing the development environment to transition junior cricketers into adult cricketers. We'll feel his loss in future seasons I have no doubt.

I didn't get the chance to speak to him following our recent Trophy presentation but I do know that he received our card and best wishes and that he very much appreciated the shared thoughts and sentiments many of you expressed when signing.

If any of you know of any other friends, colleagues, cricketers, interviewees (Norman interviewed for and wrote a number of cricketing articles) who might have known Norman, perhaps you would pass on the funeral details.
