Well if’ it’s the launch of his new book, surely that just about qualifies? What about if the hosts of said book launch are a rather upmarket jewellers in Shipley? Oh well we may be stretching this past our boundary, and expect a flurry of readers to hit us for six, or just stop reading! It would be a shame if you did because you can win a signed copy of this tome
One of the other reasons we decided to feature this was because it’s happening in Shipley, and we are aware that our coverage of said area has been scant to say the least. So without further ado, here is the low down on how to go and grab yourself a new bedside book, and at the same time walk away with something glitzy, you can imagine how it will play out!
How to win the signed edition? Just leave a comment of no more than 140 characters, in the box below summarisng your own blurb for ‘welcome to my world’ The most amusing, as decided by the third umpire will be informed by the 29th May. Winner or not get yourself along and meet him in person. (Having met Vaugnie, Panesar, Pieterson and Flintoff myself, I am always surprised by how short they seem in real life, except Flintoff who is every bit as big as you dreamt he would be).
Launch details: Saturday 30 May, 12–3pm, Stoners, 8 The Arndale Centre, Shipley, West Yorkshire, BD18 3QQ Tel. 01274 588112 to reserve places
In 2007 I went 10000 mls to Perth WA to see some cricket & maybe meet Matthew Hoggard, I never met him. In 2009 I will go 4 mls to Stoners, Shipley,I may meet him this time!
You deserve to win the book for that tale!
‘Welcome to my world’ is the new exciting adventure into the world of Hoggy. His ups and downs and well funny moments within his life is now available to read. It will keep you entertained for hours and tyou will certainly know more than needed about him. Enjoy =)
To save you having to go the 4 miles to Shipley…
Welcome to Hoggy’s world: dogs, bad hair cut, dogs, the missus, dogs, looks in need of a bath and a bar of carbolic, dogs, masturbation (I kid you not!), dogs… oh yes, & a bit of cricket. Bless you Hoggy!
I came to this country hoping to see some great cricket live and the only thing I’ve managed so far is some local guys at the corner of my street. Maybe in the next 10 years… I could read this book until then! 😉
