It is a very sad time for our club as we have lost 2 of our long standing members who both passed away in November: Norman Taylor, our treasurer since 2012 and Terry Creswell, a staunch supporter of our club since the beginning.
Nick Banks has written a tribute to both which you can read here. For those who don’t know, Nick had supported Norman and his family daily throughout Norman’s prolonged illness.
