I am sure many of our older members will remember Dorothy, Vin Dillon’s wife. Vin was President of the Club in 1972 and 73 and the founder of our High Camps, — his first was in 1964 and we’ve had 60 more since.
I regret to say Dorothy, who was 90, died on the 10th January after a very short illness. Her daughter Sally says her mother really enjoyed her association with the Club and that she and Vin made many lifelong friends whilst pursuing their passion for walking and climbing with Club members. So, she has asked us to publish the details of Dorothy’s funeral, in case any members want to attend.
The funeral will take place at 11am on the 4th of February at the Birches Remembrance Park and Crematorium, Birches Lane, Northwich CW9 7SU. There will a gathering afterwards at Biddulph Grange Country Park, Grange Road, Biddulph ST8 7SD, where Dorothy volunteered for many years.
Please let me know if you do intend to go, so I can let the family know. Alternatively let me know if you want Sally’s contact details.
