Words can't express adequately the impact that Mike had on the Club and on many of you reading this note; certainly for the writer he has been one of the most influential people in my life since we met 34 years ago.

Finchfield Hockey Club will pay our deepest respects to Mike as part of this weekend's fixtures.

Our thoughts are with Mike's family at this sad time and further communication will be sent in due course in term of the funeral arrangements.

Simon Turner.
