Hello Sue and family, I will not be able to spend the time with you on Monday. Work has gone a bit ballistic and I am scheduled to train some new guides. I was sorry to learn the passing of Bill and on reflection, perhaps I should have taken on the club duties sooner than I did. However, he is at peace and I know you and yours will miss him. as we do. Thoughts and prayers will be with you all. David Mills
