Cricket Club

Cricket Ground
Cricket matches were originally played on Parker's Piece. This was the clubs only accommodation until 1903 when, by arrangement with the Corpus Amalgamation Club, they were allowed a share in the use of their ground.
In 1909 the College bought 8 1/2 acres of arable land on the Ely Road (just beyond the junction of the Arbury Road with Ely Road, a 8 min cycle from the College) and then an additional 1 1/2 acres to improve the shape of the field. The ground measured 165 yards by 260 yards. Work was carried out to improve the soil and level the ground. It was hoped that the ground would be used for the first time in 1912. The land was held freehold and cost approximately £100 per acre. The Amalgamation Club needed £75 per annum for interest on the loans. A pavilion was also needed.

For a description of the new ground and pavilion (including drawing of the pavilion) see College Magazine, Vol. 2, No. 1, December 1911.

College Magazine

Original series ran from 1909 to 1956 and then a new numbering series started with No. 1 being 1956-1957.

The original series contained mainly articles, poems, and stories from undergraduates. It was printed at the expense of the Amalgamation Club and was circulated only to residents members and a few subscribers.
From 1952-1956 the Magdalene College Record was printed from the Magazine and sent to all members of the College Association.
In 1956 in view of the Appeal for Endowment the Record was sent to every old member.
Future issues would only be sent to members of the College Association and to those who had subscribed to the Appeal.

The old Magazine was discontinued mainly on the grounds of expense. It was hoped that in its new and reduced form it would still contain articles, serious and light, on things which interested Magdalene men. The Editor invited contributions and news from all members of the College. The Period covered by the Record was from 1 September to 31 August.
