Esher Rugby Club hosted a truly special afternoon at the stunning Mitre Hotel, Hampton Court on 22nd May 2025. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the River Thames, guests were treated to a delightful three-course lunch and an unforgettable conversation with tennis legend and broadcaster Annabel Croft.

Hosted by the ever-engaging John Inverdale, the event offered a rare glimpse into Annabel’s journey—from her days as Britain’s No. 1 tennis player to her recent adventures on Strictly Come Dancing. Her warmth, humour, and candid reflections captivated the room, making it an afternoon to remember.

This event wasn’t just about sport—it was about community, inspiration, and shared stories. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day so special.
