The club is sad to report that Nick Morgan died in July 2025.
Nick had been a member of the club for 50 seasons, playing his first recorded game in 1976. Only 38 people have played more times for the club, and only slightly more have scored more runs. He was a match manager and a vice captain.
But it was Nick's contribution after playing; "stopped far too soon" quoted the then skipper, now President in the 1990s, when faced with a pool of lesser talent, that marked his contribution.
Nick succeeded Peter Connolly as Treasurer (1995-2018), and Peter, as both Secretary and Fixture Secretary (1995-2011). He advised and supported every Captain for over 30 years and was invited to be a Vice President by Arthur Hensher in the 1990s.
He was also custodian of much of the club's physical history.
On every matter of importance to the club for the last three decades he has shaped strategy with kindness and professionalism. As an accountant specialising in the third sector he maintained a roster of loved clients long after he had left professional employment.
Alongside the RNVR Nick supported the MCC, The XL Club and his old team The Dominos.
For those who wish to attend, Nick's funeral will take place at Rushcliffe Oaks Crematorium https://www.rushcliffeoaks.co.uk/ (Stragglethorpe, near Nottingham) at 1.15pm on Wednesday 20th August. The wake will be held at the Nags Heads pub in Harby https://www.nagsheadharby.com/ (Nick's local, about 15 minutes away).
