VALE - John Darling

10/20/2015

0 Comments

 
We are deeply saddened by the passing of the inaugural National Lords Taverners Chair, John Darling, aged 92.

The idea of a club for actors and members of allied professions was the brainchild of a group of cricket-loving actors who habitually watched cricket from the Tavern at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London. In 1950 this club was named The Lord’s Taverners and registered as a charity dedicated to the promotion of cricket among young people.

The Lord’s Taverners Australia was founded in 1982 by John Darling ( a direct descendant of Australia’s 10th Test captain, Joe Darling). After some discussion, it was agreed that the new organization would be separate from the parent body with the only official link between the two bodies being a common 12th man – HRH Prince Phillip.

We pay our respects send our sincerest condolences to John's family and friends. ​
