MILDENHALL CRICKET CLUB News story


Mike Clarke

25 Oct 2020

 

It is with great sadness that I have learnt that Life Vice- President Mike Clarke, peacefully passed away last night. Mike joined the Club nearly 70 years ago and his many achievements were recognised in 2014 when he was inducted into the MildenHALL OF FAME.

Of his many roles for the cricket club, he will be best remembered as the architect of our Wamil Way ground. I worked alongside him as Treasurer at that time and I witnessed at first hand his drive and passion in completing the Club's move from the parish site to our own ground. it is a fitting tribute to Mike that nearly 50 years later the ground he helped create is now one of the finest grounds in East Anglia.

I am sure all members will join me in sending sympathy to Mike's wife Hazel, son Andrew and all their family. Our thoughts are with them at this time.
