It started in the old Chidd club, Fred, Allan Toft, Me and sometimes others, and when the club closed and Allan had moved to Rudgwick, we went to the Rudgwick club for several years. Fred and I continued meeting on Tuesdays at The Crown for a few pints and a chat after Allan had moved to Spain. Fred always enjoyed the buzz of the pub and Debbie also enjoyed her few hours of lonesomeness :) Never a one for moaning about his illnesses or injuries and firmly believing a positive attitude was the best healer, well he was right until this one beat him.
We all miss you Fred and the staff at The Crown equally so!
