Simon (Chozzie) Church, in Perth, Australia, has sent a message to members of Brigg Town Cricket Club - players, past and present, plus family and friends.
The former Brigg cricketer, who emigrated Down-Under, is planning to return to town for a reunion with ex-team-mates, plus taking part in a special veterans' game.
The match will be Tom's Poms (skippered by Andy Willey) v Chozzie's Aussies - for the Alf Church Memorial Trophy, Alf being Simon's later father, and a keen supporter of the cricket club while Simon was appearing as a batsman over many years.
The suggested date is Friday, July 10, although a suitable ground has yet to be confirmed - Brigg Recreation or Sir John Nelthorpe School being the obvious choices.
"My thoughts are to have a game followed by a BBQ and drinks to celebrate," Simon says. "Teams could be picked out of a hat on the day - 20 overs each team, two overs per bowler. Above all let's have a fun night and a couple of quiet beers. All welcome," he says.
Simon had a bit of a heart scare in January, which stopped him coming over to Brigg, as planned, for a reunion at the Yarborough Hunt, which went ahead without him. But the situation has improved. "Now I have the all-clear on my health,I'm back into full training for the big game," he stresses.
