Dear All,
Again I must be the bearer of sad news.
Sadly, Cyril Hansell, former Chairman and life member of the club, passed away at home during the early hours of today 22nd July 2023.
Cyril had not been well for some time, after suffering poor health followed recently by a stroke. He passed away at home peacefully with his wife Pat and daughter Stephanie at his side.
He was a great advocate for the club, and was a superb Military modeller turning out great examples of Tanks and other fighting vehicles. Always willing to give advice, and help others, he had a great deal of friends in the modelling community and had an infectious laugh when something humorous tickled him.
He will be sadly missed by all who knew him, and our thoughts and prayers go to Pat and Stephanie at this sad time.
Joe, is in contact with Stephanie and will advise of the funeral arrangements once they have been arranged.
Another sad loss for the club.
