Author Topic: THE DEREK JONES MEMORIAL BLACKWOOD RALLY 2nd OF AUGUST 2009  (Read 6869 times)

Our good freind Jon aka Digga has very kindly offered to dedicate his Blackwood rally this Sunday to the Memory of Derek Jones, Rare and Detecting wales member who died suddenly yesterday afternoon.
Ive asked his wife and family if they minded and they was very touch by the affection and genuine concern that the members of DW have shown the family at this very sad time.
Derek was a true friend to all and him passing will leave a whole in many peoples lives

thats really sad news  Embarrassed

i think maybe on sunday at the rally we should hold a collection from everyone in the club and either give it to the family or maybe buy something to give to them of flowers for the funeral.

anyone agree??

It's already in motion gents following an earlier suggestion from Coleggwent. Good to see you are all on board with it. Just a £1 a person will be fine, but if people want to donate more they can.

I think it would be fitting and a nice sign of respect to have it as a Memorial Rally. good idea - well done  Digga.
