25th May • 2025

I would be delighted if you could join in celebrating my 50th Birthday!

A whole afternoon and evening is planned, and you are welcome to come along for as much or as little as you would like, at whatever time suits you. Please just use the link at the bottom of this page to RSVP or send me a message ! Thanks 

Venue

Everything will be hosted at the beautiful Liphook & Ripsley Cricket Club ground on the Hampshire/Sussex border – GU30 7JL. The rough plan for the day is as follows:

12.30pm – Players Arrive

1.30pm – Cricket Match Starts

3.30pm – Tea ( all welcome to join and bring a cake/sandwiches etc to share )

6.30pm – Cricket Match finishes

8.00pm – Paella Available

8.00pm – Bands

9.30pm – Silent Disco and Party time!

Midnight/late ish – Close

All are welcome to come along and watch the cricket, play cricket ( let me know if you’re keen ), enjoy the traditional ‘cricket tea’, hang out at the bar – which will be open all day – and of course join for music, dancing, cocktails and paella in the evening. Come whenever you feel like and leave when you like.

I will provide a minibus shuttle service between Liphook station and the Cricket Ground at the beginning and end of the evening to enable people to travel via train ( Liphook is on the main London-Portsmouth line out of Waterloo ), or so that people can park in Liphook and avoid parking at the ground.

There are multiple options locally for places to stay including:

And many options in Haslemere, Petersfield, Portsmouth and Guildford – all within 30 mins of the venue.

I would be really grateful if you could click on this link and spare 2 mins to let me know what your plans are and so I can cater accordingly…

Thank You!
