Bongo Fury

It is with much sadness that we announce the passing of Dave Stanworth, who was our Bongonaut of the Year for 2013. Despite having a double lung transplant himself Dave, a frequent visitor to our club meetings over the years,  raised considerable amounts for the Heart/Lung Transplant fund at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham. Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.

So sorry to hear this.

Dave was a big part of the Bongo community and a top chap.

Our thoughts are with Dave's loved ones.

Sad news indeed, RIP Dave and sincere condolences to Jeanette.

Let us know the arrangements in due course.

Such sad news. My condolences to Daves family.

So sad to hear this

Very sad to hear this news. Dave was always such a positive person. RIP. Sincere condolences to his family.

Jillygumbo has informed us that Dave's funeral will take place on 1130 on Friday 27th April in Christ Church, Wellington, Telford. After the funeral people will head to Tackeroo to camp on Friday and Saturday nights and raise a glass to Dave.

Those of us attending the Southern Softies at Wallingford will also raise a glass on Friday night.

I've just checked Tackeroo website. The opening dates are:

Friday 30th March – Friday 20th April

Monday 30th April – Sunday 13th May

Therefore, the campsite will not be open on the weekend after Dave's funeral.
