I am sad to advise you that former 1st team captain Nick Evans died in hospital in France last weekend.

Nick joined Sevenoaks in the late 1980's and together with his wife Isobel was prominent in organising the club tour to Australia on 1992.

In the mid 1990's he took what was meant to be a 30 month sabbatical from the police force in order to pursue his love of skiing with Izzy in France. They never returned permanently to the UK, eventually becoming ski guides in Andorra during Winter and running a bed and breakfast near Narbonne in the summer.

Nick was diagnosed with Leukaemia several years ago and was severely compromised after catching COVID. They moved house a couple of years ago to be nearer the hospital in Toulouse, where he underwent many treatments.

I am sure that there are many people in the club who still remember Nick and Izzy warmly and will think of Izzy in this difficult time.

We will update this post with any information about a memorial service.
