It is with great sadness I pass on the news that Stan Jewell's wife, Barbara, passed away peacefully this morning after several months of illness. There will be a small, quiet funeral for close family only.
Stan and Barbara have given so much to our club, and I wish to thank them for their hard work and friendship. I know many of our club members will be very sad about the loss of Barbara, and I have told Stan that we are here if he needs us.

We have recently learnt of Ted Orrell's death with great sadness.
Ted ran for Chorley for 25yrs or so until he moved to Clayton-le-Moor Harriers in the early 2000s. During the last few years, he has been suffering from Parkinson's disease. He died about a month ago and has now been buried with none of his compatriots in the running world being informed by his family.
For many years Ted and John Swift were the fastest marathoners in categories V70, V75 and V80. Ted also won many age-category medals, particularly at Cross Country and long-road races.

It is with great sadness that I report the passing of Mel Blackledge. Mel was a long-standing member of our club and used to regular marshall at the Astley Trail Series. I often met him walking or running on trails around Chorley, and enjoyed his cheery chat and demeanour.
If I receive any more details about the funeral they will be posted here.
