Peter Wakeford 1933-2022 Rest In Peace

Posted 15th January 2022

Sad news Peter Wakeford passed away earlier this Week. "Wakers" as we knew him scored over 8000 runs for the club . He hit the ball hard,was an excellent close fielder . He was a quiet man & listened , when he talked you listened . I never saw him in his early days at the club but according to my elders he was a magnificent player in his younger years . He was pretty good when he reappeared at bthe club and started playing again. He was offered and declined thev Presidency of the cricket club , it wasnt him , he would rather enjoy his cricket out of the spotlight . He was a great role model for us young cricketers growing up & will be missed  . Our thoughts go out to the Wakeford family .Wakers Rest In Peace .

Funeral will take place on 9th February at n10.45am at The Kent & Sussex Crematorium, Benhall Mill Road, Tunbridge Wells TN2 5JJ and afterwards at the Neville Golf Club (which is nearby .
