Sad News SWCC is sad to report the death of Margaret Hammond. Margaret was a respected local teacher and artist. She produced the wonderful watercolours of the Anglo
American Playing Fields as a contribution to our 150th anniversary celebration (see below). Her husband, John, was a prominent member of the Club including taking on the role of
1st. XI captain. Son, Ian, is the only player in the history of the club to score a century for all three senior teams in the same season. Daughter Claire often acted as scorer and
Margaret made teas.
Prints for sale.
As part of our 150 years celebration we have
framed prints of original water colours by Margaret
Hammond available. They are £49 each and are
available by contacting David Barrs on
barrsd@aesessex.co.uk
