Ashford Cricket Club would like to extend its heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported the fundraising evening on Saturday 1st August, held in loving memory of Elaine Doggett.

It was a truly memorable occasion, bringing together members, friends, sponsors and supporters to celebrate Elaine’s life while raising funds for Princess Alice Hospice. Thanks to the incredible generosity of everyone who attended, we are delighted to announce that the evening raised just over £3,000 for this wonderful charity.

The evening featured a raffle, an envelope game and a lively auction, all of which were enthusiastically supported. The fantastic response and generosity shown by everyone created a warm and uplifting atmosphere that reflected the spirit of both the club and the occasion.

Elaine was a long-standing supporter and dedicated volunteer at Ashford Cricket Club. Over many years, she gave so much of her time and energy to the club, always with a smile and a willingness to help. She was a familiar and much-loved face whose kindness, friendship and commitment touched so many people. The evening was a fitting tribute to her life and the lasting contribution she made to our club community.

We would like to offer our sincere thanks to all of our sponsors and donors for their generous support, providing prizes and auction items that helped make the event such a success.

We are equally grateful to everyone who bought raffle tickets, took part in the envelope game, bid in the auction and made donations throughout the evening. A special thank you also goes to the volunteers who gave their time to organise and run the event.

Princess Alice Hospice provides exceptional care and support to patients and their families at the times they need it most. We are proud that the funds raised in Elaine’s memory will help the hospice continue its invaluable work in our local community.

On behalf of everyone at Ashford Cricket Club, thank you once again for your generosity, support and community spirit. Raising over £3,000 for Princess Alice Hospice is an achievement we can all be proud of, and a wonderful way to honour the memory of Elaine Doggett—a much-valued friend of the club whose legacy of kindness and generosity will not be forgotten.
