We are very saddened to let you know of the passing of Richard Sanders after a long illness. Richard was a longstanding member of Hartley Wintney Cricket Club and an active member of the committee. We had the opportunity to say thank you to Richard, and his Wife Sally, at an event held at the Club earlier this year. This recognised an outstanding contribution to HWCC over many years. It is fair to say that, without Richard’s input, our long series of Benefit Matches would not have been the same, or even happened at all. Richard and Sally ran The Crooked Billet for over 30 years, a place whose warmth and hospitality was a reflection of the owners’ personality. Our deepest sympathy goes to Sally, Amy and Jack. Richard will be missed hugely, RIP.
