Jill and I and several other club members, along
with many of Bob's old friends and colleagues, attended the inauguration
ceremony for Bob Williams memorial at St. John's lock on the Sunday after
crane in. It was a very moving affair with short speeches from Peter (Lock
keeper), Bob, (the landlord of the Trout Inn), Adrian Swift on behalf of
Eileen McKeever for the E.A. and a short service which was led by the local
vicar. Bob's daughter then spoke on behalf of the family and his grandchildren
read out a poem they had written.
The memorial looks great and is a tribute to all those who's hard work made
it possible.
