Rally 30: Albrighton Cricket Club, 7th to 11th October

Even though I have been informed by the marshals Rose & John that this rally is now full, please don’t despair as they have created a waiting list. It is possible that within the next 3 months someone may have to cancel their place on the rally; it is ALWAYS advisable to go on a waiting list.

Please see full details in your Rally Book on page 93 if you wish to be added to the waiting list.

Sue Wensley Funeral Details

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.

Sue Wensley

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.

John Brailsford, President
