The Birth of LCCC.
In the winter of 1993, the Two remaining Black Cricket clubs in Luton, Chevette and Luton International, realized that the time had come to combine both clubs as One. Black cricket had been on a downward slide for years. Both clubs were unable to attract any new players and unlike the Asian players, cricket was not in the blood of the British born young West Indians.
An amalgamation made sense, it would extend the long term future of West Indian cricket in Luton.
The wheels were set in motion in February 1994. The proposed name for the club was "Luton Caribbean Cricket Club" The rules and constitutions were drawn up, and the foundations were put in place to hopefully, take Black cricket to another level.
The President of the new club was: Silburn Stevenson, Vice President: Ossie Lewis, Founders were: Hyden Andrews, Godfrey Arthur, Dudley Belone, Veronica J Joseph, Ossie Lewis, Elwood Smith and Alex St.Ville.
The following persons were made Life Members: Godfrey Arthur, Veronica J Joseph, Elwood Smith, Patricia Smith, Leslie Joseph, Neville Burke, Winston Service, G Campbell, Lloyd Patterson, G Gonsalves and Roy Wilkinson.
