In memory of a trusted and valued colleague as volunteer over several years for Hyndburn Shop-mobility until an enforced Covid closure. Malcolm then continued to maintain contact with the – sadly depleting – group of volunteers at regular gettogethers at the Stanhill – and it was great when he was able to re-join us following his operation. It was also great to see his scooter parted outside the Heys in Ossy – his favourite drinking establishment. He will be badly missed and we send condolences to his extended family. Sadly – at short notice – we will not be able share our respects tomorrow – as three of us have medical appointments and am unfit to attend. Val, Zaff, Tommy and Peter
