Tutu Carnival (Amity Point Social Cricket Club)
The Amity Point Social Cricket Club has been hosting the Tutu Cricket Carnival for 25 years (or 24 depending on who you're arguing with, as this episode demonstrates!). It's a free two day cricket carnival with bands on the Saturday night - all for free at Amity Point, Minjerribah/North Stradbroke Island. Bar, food and raffle sales all go towards the work the cricket club does to support young people on the island.
Heather is joined by Carl (from BIG) and Thomas and Dougy (from the Brewers) in the studio. They also call up Umpire (and former Amity Point player) Wally on the island, Toey and Gurdy (from BIG) who were on the barge on their way over, as well as Crossy (from the Tigers). It's a hoot!
The interviews about the Tutu Carnival start at 10.30am - before then Heather plays a documentary about the Vanuatu Women's Island Cricket Program and plays a few cricket-themed songs incuding a beauty from 1950 that celebrates West Indies beating England in that year's Test at Lords.
