Abbey Rugby club are very sad to announce the passing of another Founder member Arthur Hampson.  Arthur died peacfully at home on the 8th November after an amazing 91 years.  I personally have fond memories of friday morning coffee with the 'old boys' at Abbey.  We will all miss him greatly.  Please see details below for the funeral.

Monday 28th November 2.30pm at Reading Crematorium with the wake at Abbey Rugby club following the service.  Arthur's coffin will leave Abbey at 2pm for people to follow, if you plan to do this please arrive for 1.45pm.  Family flowers only but donations can be made to Arthur's choice of charities through AB Walker.  The family would welcome Abbey members to attend and would love to see you all in Abbey blazers.
Thoughts are with all his family at this sad time.
