On his retirement Tony became a member of Crew. Being a biologist he knew the importance of keeping fit and healthy particularly as both his parents suffered from heart problems. He initially attended meetings helping to organise social events and raise funds for the organisation. 

 

As a keen walker he volunteered to organise the walking programme on the retirement of Bernard McDonald. His talent for persuading members to become walk leaders was well known. He enjoyed planning new routes and researching any points of interest along the way. These became very popular with up to forty people attending.

 

He helped to develop the Crew website and advertised the many Fitness programmes we now run. 

 

Sadly Tony passed away January 7th 2020. He will be greatly missed for his organisational skills, his entertainment, passion for people’s health and welfare and his terrible jokes. RIP.
