A Personal Message

I have been asked by member Darren Williams to post this message to everyone.

"Some of you know I've been battling cancer for the last year and I'm now in a hospice in the New Forest. I've still been active as much as possible, going to many meets, making so many friends and even more memories through the Bongo community. Thank you all for your frienship.

I planned a Bayeux France meet last September where we did the war ceremony and even went for a beer in Paris with my friends Dennis and Sam (New Dawn) and wife Lynda. The French meet will hopefully happen again this year and the year after so try and get out there if you can.

Thank you for your support, especially to my wife Lynda who will be driving our Bongo and will still need your love and support.

All that's left for me to say is enjoy your van, make friends and thank you to all that I've met along the way.

Darren".
