On Friday 27 April, the Ecole Voltaire from Drancy, France, made their second visit to Lord's. The school decided to include a tour of the ground on their itinerary during a trip to the UK again after the success of their visit last year. Both pupils and staff were given a comprehensive tour of the ground by guide Stan. The school now includes cricket as part of its PE curriculum, and the pupils were thrilled to have the opportunity to see the home of the game.

Other recent visitors were Staffan Lageson and his family from Sweden.

Staffan was in the UK for the Cricket Live conference, and who took the opportunity to bring his family and two friends from Kent to Lord's for Middlesex's Benson & Hedges Cup match against Kent. Staffan's wife, Rotchana, and the lady from Kent are both scorers, and were delighted to be offered a visit to the scoring box to see how everything worked.
