It is with great sadness that I am writing to say that our friend and fellow strider Gary Cassop-Brown passed away peacefully last Thursday evening with Gail by his side. 

Some of you may not have met Gary as he has been living up in Scotland in recent years but he did come down for the most recent Striders’ Christmas Party so you may have been lucky enough to meet him then and seen him busting out his infamous dance moves.

For those of us that knew him, we will remember Gary for his commitment to the club and especially the fun he always brought to our social events. 

A remarkable man who will be missed.

Thanks for the memories Gary!
