Thank you for your memories of the late Barry Birtwistle.

For info, arrangements for Barry Birtwistle’s funeral next Mon 8th Oct have been sent out by the Golf Club. The Crematorium is for family only, so people should go to Christ Church (Keighley Rd) at 10am and/or the Golf Club from 11am.

Sad news of Barry Birtwistle's death on Fri 21st. A key member of L&B, having been secretary of the original Lidgett Preservation Group, and an all-round fun chap. Gave memorable speech at the Appeal–we'll never forget tales of playing Doctors & Nurses on the Rough! RIP Barry
