Harry Pearson guests at SPIN Magazine Club at The Warrington on August 5
The SPIN Magazine Cricket Club welcomes Harry Pearson of The Guardian as our special guest on Thursday August 5.
Harry will be talking about his career and his new book, Slipless in Settle, in conversation with SPIN editor Duncan Steer. He will also be taking questions from the floor and signing books.
The kick-off time is 7 for 7.30. Entry is FREE but advance booking is advised. To book your place, please email: spincc@spincricket.com.
The Warrington is at 93 Warrington Crescent, London W9 1EH. Nearest tube: Warwick Avenue (Bakerloo)
Harry’s new book Slipless in Settle, published by Little, Brown, is an account of a summer spent watching league cricket in Yorkshire. It has all the eye for grim-up-north colour and telling/ridiculous detail that has won Harry’s previous books (and Saturday Guardian sports columns) so many fans.
There is an extract from Slipless in Settle in the current issue of SPIN. There’s more info on the book here: http://tinyurl.com/Slipless
Harry has previously written acclaimed books on, variously, football (‘The Far Corner – a mazy dribble through north-east football’), Belgians (‘A Tall Man in a Low Land’) and the secret (ish) world of North country fairs (‘Racing Pigs and Giant Marrows’).
As ever, as well as the cricket chat, it’s a chance to enjoy some free Gordon Ramsay food and mingle with cricket movers and shakers. Plus there’s a free prize quiz to win dinner for two at Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant, upstairs at the Warrington.
The SPIN Magazine Cricket Club is held once a month at The Warrington and features players and authors as guests within an informal pub quiz/chat show atmosphere.
To be kept in touch with future events, please write to spincc@spincricket.com.
And if you join the SPIN Cricket Club, you get 10 issues of SPIN PLUS 10 per cent discount off dining at the Warrington for a year. http://www.tinyurl/SPINCCRamsay.

With classy takes on classic food, top-notch service and – we can reveal – a fine wine list, The Warrington dining room is a great place for a special-occasion dinner or a business lunch. Just up the road from Lord’s, it’s also perfect for a post-match pint or meal.
Over the summer, SPIN is also hosting a series of free, cricket-themed events at The Warrington, too. Editor Duncan Steer will be interviewing players and writers while The Guardian’s Rob’s Smyth will host a prize quiz. Our next event is on June 16, kick-off 7pm, when our star guest is New Zealand and Middlesex’s Iain O’Brien. Please email us to register your interest at spincc@spincricket.com, as we are expecting this to be a very popular night.
The Warrington Hotel is at 93 Warrington Crescent, London W9 1EH, nearest tubes Warwick Avenue and Maida Vale.
Go here to join the SPIN club for priority booking on future events, that 10 per cent discount card and 10 issues of SPIN delivered straight to your door – all for just £25.
