Time to say goodbye...

Ray and Dave with the
Bill Budner Trophy
A sad day for us as our good friend Ray has had to leave our happy throng.

He emailed to let us know that he has to leave saying:

"In the words of Pete and Dud it's time to say goodbye.

"As you know a while back we had to dash up to London as my daughter was in hospital. A few weeks ago she was diagnosed with Fibro....something with a long medical term. It means that she is in constant pain and needs support.
 
 "By the time the next meeting comes around we will be gone. I hate goodbyes anyway but I would like to have said it in person.
 
"I will miss you all. You are amazing people.
 
 "Take care - keep scribbling and achieve your goals.
 
 "Ray"


Already an accomplished author with a number of Westerns to his name, (written as Jack Giles), Ray has been a good friend to the Scribblers. He has produced some really high class stories from the homework themes and has, of course, also won the Bill Budner Trophy and been runner up too.

You will understand his admirable reasons for leaving and I am sure you will all wish Ray, his wife and his daughter the very best,

We'll all miss him at Felixstowe,

Dave
