Overnight on 6 September 2023, there was a catastrophic fire that destroyed our pavilion. As well as Hampton Wick Royal Cricket Club, this ground is home to Harlequins Amateurs rugby, Bedfont Sports FC, Kingston College Football Academy and other community groups.

The stars have aligned and I thought I would cycle across Europe from London to Athens for a laugh and also to raise some money for a good cause! I'll be going on my own and carrying all my stuff if that's any extra incentive to donate.

The money raised through your donations will go towards the clubhouse rebuild which is still yet to start nearly three years later!

The Wick is by far the best place to spend a summer Saturday, the new clubouse will grow the club for the future and support the already strong youth development and women's and girls cricket with the facilities we need. All the players, relatives and local community will be hugely grateful for your donation.

Cheers and go well!
