What's New
It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to Stuart Wood, who concluded his innings last Friday, at the age of 83. Stuart's service to the club, particularly as treasurer, was truly outstanding. David Bowden has written a piece in the main news section recalling his service to PNCC and more. Though Stuart had been ill for some time he still had plans for the future and was in fact due to marry this Friday. We send our regards to his family and friends and are thankful that so many of us could count ourselves amongst the latter. For those that wish to pay their respects, the funeral for Stuart will take place on Monday, 19 July at the Woodvale Crematorium, starting at 11.30am. Three friends of Mike Nunn, i.e. Tony Charman, Andrew Brooks and Tom Puffett, are raising money for the British Heart Foundation in Nunny's memory. They’re doing a 65 mile off road bike ride over the South Downs Way from Winchester to Brighton in a day! Apparently this is known to many as the toughest off-road bike ride in the UK. They hope to raise as much sponsorship as possible for the BHF to help them fund vital heart research to help families in the future and would be grateful for any support you can give, small or large!
