1808-08-15
In August 1808 a small group of surviving Hambledon Club veterans gathered at the Bat & Ball Inn at Broadhalfpenny Down — the inn that had served as the club's headquarters in its great years — for an informal reunion. Beldham, Walker, Aburrow, Sueter and a handful of fielders met for the day; a young John Nyren attended and made the notes that would become the basis of his 1833 memoir.
