NEWSLETTER FEBRUARY
Newsletter for Branch
meeting on 15th February 2017
Please note any information for the newsletter to be
passed on to John Griffiths by the last Saturday before the next meeting
Norman David Osborne.
We sadly report the death
of Norman who passed away on 19th
January 2017. His funeral took place on
7th February at 1300hrs at Bournemouth Crematorium and was well
attended by members, Bert paraded the Standard.
He joined the branch in
May 1988 as a life member and during his time with the branch both Norman and
his wife Edie were enthusiastic supporters of the branch.
For a long time both
Norman and Edie helped greatly with the welfare of a branch member who lived near
to them in Ringwood.
He will be greatly missed
by branch members and our sincere sympathies go to Norman ’s family.
