Some very sad news

By Colin Hicks , 13 April, 2010

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.
