Western Tour

“Nothing, perhaps, distinguishes the SOA more strikingly from most other clubs than the Western Tour… Some of the most memorable experiences of the season are often from the tour…. Only a small handful of wandering clubs have kept their tour, and whether it will exist for SOA members in its present form in 2033 is anyone’s guess”   A P Lurcock 2008

Pleasingly, thanks to an ever enthusiastic and wonderfully diverse collection of players, officials and families, the tour continues to thrive and goes from strength to strength – we still retain many of the long-standing fixtures and marvellous venues to play cricket that have been mainstays of the tour fixture list for an age – long may it continue as we head towards that centenary year milestone.

Therefore, what better time as another SOA season beckons than to put out an initial enquiry to one and all to begin to piece together another tour party. Whether you are thinking of returning to Devon again or making the trip down for the first time, we’d love to hear from you and would love to see you down there for a day or week (or two)…
