CLIVE TATTON
We were so sorry to hear of the death of our friend and committee member, Clive.
Clive was first introduced to our group through his friend Nora. He bravely faced considerable leg pulling and bullying to try to get him to dance. Fortunately for us, he took it all in good part and came back for further teasing!
In his own quiet way, he quickly became very much part of the group, always ready to share a joke, always there with a gentle smile and a wicked sense of humour.
Clive was soon ‘press-ganged’ into joining the committee, and being supportive of ideas put forward.
Clive and Nora have been at the forefront in offering to steward meets for the section and always in the background ensuring that everything ran smoothly.
Clive has suffered ups and downs in his health over the past couple of years but despite this, he and Nora have been able to enjoy many adventures abroad. When asked how he was, it was always a “fine thank you” response, reflecting his reluctance to dwell on his own difficulties.
Meets will not be the same without Clive. A True Gentleman.

David Hind
Sadly, we have heard that David Hind has died.
Many of you will share fond memories of North Central meets with David, his wife Sheilagh and Alan Grant providing fabulous live music for dancing. Sadly all gone now, but the memories persist.

Sheila Harding
I am sorry to let members know that Sheila Harding, a long standing member of the group, has recently died.
Sheila and her husband, David, have played a large part in the group over the years but unfortunately, ill health has meant they have not been out with us recently.
We send our condolences to David and family.
