The politician and journalist Bill Deedes wrote in 2000: "while the Second World War was on, I consoled myself by thinking that Canterbury Cricket Week, founded in 1842 with its tents and famous lime tree, unchanging in a changing world, was the sort of thing I was in business to preserve."[7] TraditionsTraditionally Canterbury Cricket Week included a Ladies Day, with prizes being awarded for the best hat on the day [2][8][9][10], though in recent years this has been discontinued in line witb changing social attitudes and the need to keep cricket relevant to a modern audience. The Kent Supporters Club lays a wreath each year, commemorating those who played for the county and died during the First and Second World Wars.[8][11]. The Old Stagers amateur theatre group has close links with Canterbury Cricket Week, originally being formed to perform at the festival.[2][7] ImpactCanterbury Cricket Week usually has Kent's highest attendance at the St. Lawrence Ground. It was once considered a major commercial and cricketing highlight of the year.[12] There were concerns that it could be eclipsed by the growth in popularity of Twenty20 but is still considered unique in cricket and is not expected to change.[12] 2012In 2012, the 161st Canterbury Cricket Week was scheduled to clash with the second week of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London leading to fears of a reduced attendance at the Cricket Week. However, Kent Chief Executive Jamie Clifford stated that he believed that it would bring in larger crowds, mainly from people who didn't have tickets to the Olympics.[13] See alsoTunbridge Wells Cricket WeekReferences1. ^Barclay's World of Cricket - 2nd Edition, 1980, Collins Publishers, {{ISBN|0-00-216349-7}}, p387 2. ^1 2 [https://kentcricketheritagetrust.wordpress.com/2018/08/27/charles-taylor-and-canterbury-cricket-week/ Charles Taylor and Canterbury Cricket Week], Kent Cricket Heritage Trust, 2018-08-27.
