Paul Turner, Director and Club Treasurer has died on Friday, 26th January 2024
It is with great regret that the club, following the wishes of his widow Sally, has to announce the death of Paul Turner at Saint Richard’s Hospice, Worcester.
Paul had been the backbone of the club, steering us through the good times and the bad times, such as COVID, with good humour, diligence and his great attention to detail. His dry sense of humour would always be present during discussions about the future direction of the club helping us make the right decision and his knowledge of accounting has helped the club survive recent difficult times.
We wish to show our respects for a great man and know that he will be much missed by all the members and, of course, his family and friends.
