Time to say goodbye to my loving wife Sue. 💔

The service will be held at Shay Grange Crematorium, Long Lane, Heaton, Shipley. BD9 6ST at 12.45pm Tuesday 18th August 2026.

Followed by refreshments at The Old Barn, Esholt. Esholt Lane, Baildon, Shipley. BD17 7RJ
Which is quite appropriate as Emmerdale Farm was originally filmed in this area, and it was still one of Sue’s favourite programs.

Family flowers only. There will be a collection for Wheatfield Hospice at the Crematorium.
Also dress code, I would say smart, but can you include something blue please, as it was Sue’s favourite colour. Thanks.

Please let me know by text if you will be attending.

If you are unable to attend and would like to watch the service you can on Live Stream, which is free and no personal details required. Just contact me for log on details.

Sadly, Sue passed away last Sunday after losing her battle with cancer. 

Sue and Roy returned home from the Les Abrets rally in France last September when Sue started to be ill. She bravely battled through her cancer treatment and attended many rallies to try to live her life as normal as possible.

Roy & Sue had rallied since 2017 and had made many friends in the club as they attended a lot of rallies both at home and abroad and were always fun to be with.

When possible in her last few weeks, she tried to spend as much time as she could with their two sons and their three young grandchildren.

We hope that in time Roy will continue to attend rallies with the support of all the friends they had made in the club.

Our thoughts are with Roy, their sons and families at this very sad time.

R.I.P Sue.

Now that the summer edition of Going Places is starting to hit the doormats I have been asked to  highlight two articles to you. 

January is a long time away but to assist the marshals they would appreciate you contacting them to show your interest in the Burns Night Rally. 

PLEASE SEE PAGE 74 of Going Places for further details. 

The online booking scheme is in the Pilot Phase due to the very favourable members responses to the demonstrations at the AGM rally. 

If you are willing to take SOME of your bookings next year this way on your rally or if you add another rally this year and are willing to trial it there then:-

PLEASE SEE PAGE 101 of Going Places for further details. 

Please note that ALL CURRENT FORMS OF BOOKING will still be available for these rallies too.”

We have recently learnt of the sad death of Honorary Life Member Cheryl Barnard who passed away on 21st May.
Dave and Cheryl have been members since 1990 and unfortunately had to give up caravanning just a few years ago due to ill health.
They were regular ralliers and marshalled several rallies within the area of their home town of Lincoln. They also ran very popular holiday rallies abroad too, one being in Rüdesheim, Germany in 2014, where we subsequently ran a rally on the same site in 2023.
They made many friends during their 30+ years of rallying with the club so this will be a shock to many members reading this announcement.
We believe the funeral is in about a week’s time but we do not have any details yet.

Our thoughts are with Dave, their family and friends at this difficult time.
R.I.P Cheryl.
