Thumbs up

Well I never. My attention was drawn to the intro and outro from the off and while The Farmer's Boy I think is self-evident to those who have been around Derek for any length of time the choice of outro was a bit of an enigma to me at least. That was, until now and as explained above.

Well done to all those who attended the funeral and did the club proud.

Will Dereks lovely estates stay in the family?

Oh my goodness.

Haven't logged in for a while and I must say this is the saddest news.

A true Gentleman and one of lifes greats!

Goodnight and God Bless, Derek.

I would like to add some photos in Derek’s memory, from his day out with Coolcat and myself at the BTCC Brands Hatch, to the National Meeting with BlueJon and Silver Vixen. Bottom photo - The raffle prize....nice one sir!

I only spoke to Derek briefly a handful of times, but "conversed" with him through LCOZ a lot more frequently.

What a gent he was and such a fine ambassador for the club.

Rest well Derek.

He most certainly was Ian, I had the great pleasure of meeting him on a couple of occasions. He was such a Gentleman and an inspiration to us all.
