About Us
Aurora Publications came into being in 1985 when the first edition of the Ulster Cricketer was published. Two editions were produced every year until 1996 when editor Clarence Hiles relocated to the Caribbean and the voice of Ulster cricket disappeared. Also during those eleven years a number of match programmes were produced for the big touring matches and the NCU cup final. In 2004 the Ulster Cricketer re-appeared and continued for a couple of years before switching to the electronic version in 2007.
Aurora Publications is based in Comber, County Down Northern Ireland. |
