Mr Dumkins – Muggleton cricketer at Dingley Dell match

“All-Muggleton had the first innings; and the interest became intense when Mr. Dumkins and Mr. Podder,
two of the most renowned members of that most distinguished club, walked, bat in hand, to their respective
wickets. Mr. Luffey, the highest ornament of Dingley Dell, was pitched to bowl against the redoubtable
Dumkins, and Mr. Struggles was selected to do the same kind office for the hitherto unconquered Podder.
Several players were stationed, to 'look out,' in different parts of the field, and each fixed himself into the
proper attitude by placing one hand on each knee, and stooping very much as if he were 'making a back'
for some beginner at leap-frog. All the regular players do this sort of thing;--indeed it is generally
supposed that it is quite impossible to look out properly in any other position.”

3-In-One Oil………did you know?

We’ve all used the 3-in-One oil for many different lubrication needs, but did you
ever wonder why it was called that?

Originally formulated in the USA in 1894 for use on….. yes, bicycles!

And why 3-in-One? Simple - “clean, lubricate and protect” from one tin.

So now you know how important that little tin(or plastic as it is now) container
with a red spout has always been so much part of a cyclist’s toolkit
