First, we hear my questions to Hendy. He talks about his first impressions of the club and the town, his estimation of the team and what made it successful in the period he was with it. He talks about how he felt coming to the club as a paid professional and a little bit about his approach to coaching.
He tells the story about a lady called Mary Field who's conversation with him is something that has stayed with him throughout his coaching career.
He also gives a message to the club and its members about everyone pitching in to keep the club going for another two hundred years !
The second part of the episode is club members talking about Henderson arriving at the club and their memories of him, both on and off the field!
The final part of the episode is the club members talking about their favourite grounds, both within and outside Pembrokeshire, their connections with the wider game in Wales, including the relationship with Glamorgan and Welsh Fire and the impact of women and girls cricket on the club.
Finally, we hear some favourite stories about the club and its players and memories of a loved ex member of the club, Steve James.
Very sadly, Henderson's mother was taken into hospital on the day of our conversation. She has, since, passed away.
This episode of the podcast is dedicated to her memory and to the memory of Steve James.
Anyone interested in attending one of the remaining functions celebrating the club's bicentenary can find the details via the club's Facebook Page.
