QPQ: Done.

Overall: This is a neat and interesting little article. It is new enough, long enough and well cited. I've added quote marks in one place where the text is a direct lift from the source, but it was clearly cited in the first place. The hooks are interesting. I recommend we add "Cricket Club" to the first one since it was the cricket club he joined and not a gymkhana. ALT1 is also fine provided we change "Moshie lodge" to "Mashie Lodge". Some may argue that "Mashie Niblick" ought to be in lower case, but the source uses title case, so I don't have a problem with it. Finally the QPQ needs to be completed.

@Bermicourt:. Thanks. Completed QPQ and have updated the link above. Also, thanks for spotting the typo on Mashie in ALT1. Updated the text to say Mashie rather than Moshie. Please have a look. Thanks. Ktin (talk) 01:15, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

@Ktin:. Well done. IMHO this article is GTG. Bermicourt (talk) 08:11, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
