My very good friend, Club Member and regular fishing mate, Trevor, who sadly passed away, Sunday 5th May aged 91.

He suffered a stroke early January. We fished Kippax Park Lakes almost every Mid Week (weather permitting) for quite a few years.

Coincidentally, he passed away the very same mid morning we were fishing a Club Match - at Kippax Park Lakes.

Safe journey buddy, & fish well with Alan and our Geoff.
