EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the spirit of camaraderie and sporting enthusiasm at the RAF Club Cricket Week held in Eastbourne during the summer of 1922. The image is filled with a diverse cast of characters, including smartly-dressed officers and ladies in elegant hats and dresses, all gathered together in celebration of the sporting event. At the heart of the scene is Reverend Frank Gillingham, the RAF Chaplain, who stands proudly among the players, his arm around the shoulders of two cricket team members. The Reverend's presence underscores the importance of community and the role of sports in bringing people together, both on and off the field. The ladies in the photograph, dressed in their finest attire, add an air of elegance and sophistication to the scene. Their presence at the cricket week was a testament to the inclusive nature of the event, which welcomed not just players but also their families and supporters. The setting of the RAF Club Cricket Week in Eastbourne, a popular seaside resort town, adds to the sense of leisure and enjoyment. The crisp, clean lines of the players' cricket whites and the ladies' hats and dresses contrast beautifully with the lush, green grass of the cricket pitch, creating a striking visual composition. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when community, sport, and style came together in perfect harmony. The image is a reminder of the enduring appeal of cricket and the special moments that bring people together, both on and off the field.
