I am sure that we all remember Raymond Smith with much fondness. He was a fantastic supporter of Hambledon in so many different ways , and his untimely death was a great loss to all of us.

As a tribute to Raymond, the Cricket Club will be hosting a memorial fixture this Saturday, 10th September, between Hambledon CC and the “Raymond Smith family and friends XI” starting 1.30pm. Please, please come and join us.

There will also be a Barbeque afterwards , kindly provided by Peggy Smith , to which everybody who knew Raymond would be most welcome. Please feel free to bring a burger or a sausage with you, and come join us to celebrate Raymond Smith’s massive contribution to the Cricket Club, and to the village. We anticipate the barbeque might run between 5.30 – 7.30pm … depending on the weather.

Lets pray for good weather . Raymond will be looking down on us and smiling . Please feel free to come join us at any time during the day or evening. See you Saturday !!
