text: Dulwich Cricket Club was delighted to host a very special cricket match last week when the Great Britain Transplant X1 played the Australian Transplant X1 in a one day international cricket game. The match played last week was also timed to coincide with Organ Transplant awareness week.
  The limited overs match was played for the David Hookes Memorial Shield which was won by the Great Britain X1. The day was sponsored by Dulwich member, Matt Johnson. Matt manages CAM Specialist Support.
  All the players involved in the game have received life changing, and very often life saving, organ transplants that have transformed their lives. The players include some who have endured thrice weekly dialysis and those who have received donated hearts, kidneys, lungs and livers. The “transplant players” have been given the chance to continue playing the sport they love through the generosity of their donors.
  The tourists asked to play at Dulwich as David played for Dulwich in 1975 before becoming a State player. He played 23 Test Matches, was Chairman of South Australia and then became manager of the Victorian State Side. David died in tragic circumstances in January 2004 and donated his organs, helping to save or dramatically improve the lives of 10 recipients.
  His widow, Robyn, who travelled from Australia was present at the match. She is the Director of the David Hookes Foundation which has the objective of increasing the number of organ donors: increasing the public awareness of the need for organ donors and educating families to support the decision of their loved one to donate organs.
  John Soldan, who was the captain of Dulwich in 1976 when “Hookesey” played at Dulwich, was instrumental in arranged the match. John was privileged to receive a special tribute from a tearful Robyn Hookes who presented John with a cricket jumper from David’s last test appearance for Australia. The whole day was very special to all the participants and the host club with even the English weather allowing a full game.
  Just saw this article and am sad to hear of Hookes's death. I played for Southgate 1st X1 in 1975 under Chris Payne and played against David. He bowled me after I had scored about 15 runs. It was a Sunday fixture but it was the champions of North London versus the champions of South London and I believe we won. We went on to win the National Club knockout in 1977 beating Bowden.
  If you are in this page is because you love the night life and you want to prepare everything, don't miss a minute of your time once you are in Budapest. Probably you know that Budapest is one of the most funny city in Europe. If you will be able to find your exact fun for you, you don't forget Budapest the rest of your life.
  So after you have booked one of my apartments in Budapest you are looking for some good advices about nightlife. Read the whole page make good use of it. In the bottom of the page then you will find a map (updated daily from me) with all kind of entertainment divided by topic. Help you with the zoom buttons and look for the most entertaining, perhaps close to your apartment, where you can combine multiple different situations even in the same night. You can also ask me any information about it I'll gladly to help you to build your nights.
  Budapest has a great nightlife: there is something to interest almost everybody and to fit all budgets. Bars and disco, pubs and historical places that can be chic or popular.
  Before giving some more detailed info, let me suggest you to use a taxi to move around Budapest: it's cheap, quick and comfortable! But be careful: I suggest not to take the taxi along the street: they might be not regular and ask you a lot of money (in the better option). To take a taxi, I suggest to call a taxi company: For example Citytaxi is a good one, and they speak english: the phone number is 0036-1-2111111, the taxi arrives quickly and anyway you start paying the trip in the moment you enter the taxi.
  It's a square full of open bars, restaurants and café where you can drink or eat something comfortably sitting ouside. You can try a the at the Karma inside, in a very nice arabian room, or eat something at the chic Menza Etterem. Our accommodations closeby are: Apartment Puccini, Apartment Paganini and Apartment Opera Romantica.
  Recently named the Soho of Budapest, this area of the centre of Budapest, close to Fovam Ter and the river Danube, is full of café, open bars, restaurants and wine bar where you can taste the typical hungarian wine. A young and informal place. Our best accommodation in this area are: Apartment Caruso and Apartment Tosca.
  These pubs are located in the very old buildings of the city centre, and they cover the whole building. You can have a beer and listen to the live music. From outside they look like normal buildings, so you need to know the exact address. The most famous is the Szimplakert in the VII district in Kazinczy street 14. Or you can go to the Instinct, in the VI district in Nagymezo street.
  During last times are occurring many night parties organized inside the most famous Thermal Baths of the city. Only in this occasion, they are open in the night on saturdays from 22 pm to 3 am. Man and women can enter together dressing the bath robe.
  Budapest, together with Paris and Wien, is well known for its operetta and musical. The Operetta Theatre is in Vi district in Nagymezo 17.
  In this very big commercial centre, in VI district, there are many cinema starting very late in the night and sometimes with words.
  Some night clubs are dangerous: at the entrance they promis you free entrance and low cost, and after you are asked to pay high bills for nothing, minimum 500 euro per person for just a beer. And if you don't want to pay, they bring you to the nearest atm machine to take cash.
  I have listed disco clubs, music clubs, normal pubs, pubs in ruins, live music, jazz clubs, casinos, wine bars (I have not listed the restaurants and cafes you will find them in the appropriate categories).
