You will have heard that one of our members, Phil Clayton, who was a member of our MTB group, tragically died in a scrambling accident in Langdale last week. His family have informed us of a celebratory wake for Phil, and would be pleased for any of his friends from KDCS to attend, details in the invitation below.
"There will be a wake held in memory of Phil Clayton at the Netherfield Cricket Club, Parkside Road, Kendal on Friday 28th March at 10.30am: all welcome and appreciated.
In loving memory of Phil’s many flowery shirts and love of bright colours, please feel free to celebrate this in your outfit.
A private family cremation will be held separately.
In lieu of flowers, donations gratefully received to Langdale & Ambleside Mountain Rescue and Westmorland and Lonsdale Green Party, via Hayes & Parkinson Funeral Directors, Kendal."
In addition we've been asked if there are any KDCS members who might be willing to say a few words in memory of Phil? Some of you who may have known him might be able to reflect on a personal or collective memory or two. It doesn’t need to be long or complicated and it’ll be amongst a friendly audience.
If anyone (or more than one: all comers welcome!) would like to, then please let me know and I'll put you in touch with Phil's partner Alex,
Tim Goffe
