CC4 Museum of Welsh Cricket Podcast

Tell us what you think of this episode

In this episode we remember long time treasurer with the St Helen's Balconiers Clive Hemp.
We talk to his children, David, Tim and Charlotte as well as his colleagues from the Balconiers Committee Allan Gray and Roger Skyrme, Swansea solicitor and main sponsor of the Swansea and West Wales cricket Festival Peter Lynne.
Our final guest who remembers Clive is Balconiers President Alan Jones. Ex-Glamorgan cricketer and coach Alan has been President of Glamorgan County Cricket Club as well as the St Helen's Balconiers.
They talk about his time as a cricketer and the support he gave his two cricketing sons. His personal qualities; a generosity of spirit, an egalitarian outlook and a people centered approach influenced not only his career as a cricketer but also his business life as a successful accountant.
Encouraged by his contact with Balconiers Chairman John Williams, Clive became an integral part of the organisation, using his business contacts to build sponsorship for the annual Swansea and West Wales Cricket Festival which was the jewel in the Balconiers crown.
All our guests paint a picture of a man who loved his sport, loved Glamorgan and made a great many friends through the world of cricket.
