Service of Thanksgiving and Celebration for the life of Nigel Campkin

A very well attended Service of Thanksgiving and Celebration for the life of Nigel Campkin, President of Havant RFC took place on Monday (11th October), after he lost his 18 month battle with cancer – a battle fought with amazing fortitude, resilience and like everything he did, great dignity and humility..

Jon Mangnall, HRFC Chairman, said: "Nigel’s work and commitment to Havant RFC is immeasurable and he has touched and influenced so much of what is great about our club but he has done it in such a way that many would never see or realise. Our thoughts are with Catherine, his wife, and his sons Joseph and George."

Nigel was a great friend of Cobham Rugby Club, sharing ideas over many pre-match lunches – and he will be missed by everyone that knew him.

Cobham Rugby was represented by Lionel Frewin and Ian Thomas.
