Capturing Memories for Hurlingham
To avoid any
confusion.
This web site is the personal property of Tony Gamble
and not the responsibility of the Hurlingham Club.
The pictures are chosen by me and any comments reflect my views

Au revoir but not
Goodbye.
I am in the process of preparing a final Archive
Board covering the two covid restricted years of 2020 and 2021. The
pictures are ready and await the frame in which to mount them.
I will leave this website active to host the new
Hurlingham Players images, as a resource for Club publications and our
Archivist.
The whole project has given me an immense amount
of fun and I have met hundreds of fascinating people through it. Nothing
would give me greater pleasure than to hear that someone, inevitably
much younger, has taken over my role.
