Sad News

One of our members Chris Gael sadly died of a heart attack on May 3rd. Chris was an active and enthusiastic member of the group and always attended the regular Tuesday meetings.  After his absence for 2 meetings Irene became concerned and contacted his home.  Chris's wife, Betty-Anne, told Irene the sad news.

Chris was born in England and after graduating from Agricultural College he went to work in what was then Rhodesia. He met Betty-Anne and settled in Rhodesia where the weather favoured his love of TRs.  Chris went on many excursions in his cars through Africa notably completeing the Garden Route in South Africa.

Chris and Betty-Anne moved back to England as the economic situation in Zimbabwe became imposible for them. They settled in Rendlesham and about 18 months ago Chris joined the Abbott and Stour Group.  He drove an immaculate dark blue TR4 and enjoyed the many runs devised by other group members.  Chris will be missed he was a true gentleman.
