Who is Peter Wynne-Thomas?

Peter Wynne-Thomas is an English cricket writer, historian and statistician who has for many years been the archivist and librarian of Nottinghamshire CCC. He has been one of the club's general committee members.

Wynne-Thomas trained as an architectural consultant but, from what began as a hobby, he has specialised in cricket statistics and research. He has written cricket books, some intended for those with a beginner's or casual interest in the sport. Examples are the Hamlyn A-Z of Cricket Records, which is a selection of statistical information; and From the Weald to the World which presents an account of cricket's history.

During the 1960s, Wynne-Thomas worked with Rowland Bowen on The Cricket Quarterly. In 1973, he was involved in the foundation of the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians. He was the original treasurer until 1974 and then secretary until he retired in 2006.

Wynne-Thomas managed the Sport-in-Print bookshop from December 1987. The ACS purchased the premises in 1993 as its headquarters. Wynne-Thomas combined his shop and ACS roles until March 2006, when he retired and the shop was sold, the ACS relocating to Cardiff.
