I am absolutely shocked and stunned by this news. Dan (Maximo) was visibly upset when I told him and Jackie was also lost for words when I spoke to her at lunchtime. Due to our family troubles club meetings became a big part of life for me and Dan, and ukcougar.com became our new family in those troubled times. As stated above Chris and Tim took the organisation of the meets to a new level and without them our quality of life would have been less.
Always a fantastic start to any meeting was Tim choreographing the cars whilst Chris made breakfast for all, either in their always immaculate tent or in the club marquee. Chris was everpresent at all of the meets - usually first there, always ensuring the smooth running of the meets, always laughing and joking and, above all, ensuring that everyone felt welcome and part of the gang.
I could go on at length but, to be honest, I am getting too upset thinking that Chris's smiling jovial face will never again be brightening up our lives.
Rest in peace my friend.
