Our sincere sympathies go to his wife Cathie and the family.

A keen member of our 1874 Investment Club with interests in football, social dominoes, snooker ( ex-tournament player ) and John Wayne videos ! Politics - he was a self confessed chauvinistic conservative!

Alex was a keen Friday and Monday night visitor to our club and he will be sadly missed.
