In case you had not already heard, Dave Stubbs (BKO) collapsed and died
whilst running at the JK Sprint, on Good Friday.

Dave was well known and respected as a Grade 1 Controller and made
significant contributions to the sport over many years. Many SOC members
have worked with Dave at one or more of a number of major events
including the 1999 World Championships. The sport has lost a fine
competitor and official with his passing. Our sympathies go out to Katy.

Katy has asked us to pass on the following details:

Dave's funeral will be on Friday 23 April at 14:15, at Easthampstead
Park Crematorium, Bracknell. Katy has asked for no flowers. If anyone
wishes to give something then Katy would like donations to be made to
Cancer Research UK. Cheques payable to Cancer Research UK can be sent
to either the funeral directors; Miles and Daughters. Isabella House,
498a Reading Road, Winnersh, Berks, RG41 5EX, or to Katy Stubbs at 3
Kelburne Close, Winnersh Berks, RG41 5JG.

Katy would welcome friends afterwards at her house, but would appreciate
knowing in advance if you would like to come back (katystubbs [at] f2s.com (katystubbs[at]f2s[dot]com)).

Some of you are already aware of the death of Dave Subbs of BKO at the JK Sprint event at Bicton College.

Dave was competing when he collapsed and died, see http://www.bko.org.uk/content/some-very-sad-news

SOC members will probably know Dave's wife Katy, who was instrumental in getting BOC2009 on Hampton Ridge back on course, when threatened with not happening at all. Our thoughts are with her at this time.

Any member wanting the funeral details please contact me.
