The club is very sad to report that Keith Garrard passed away on 23rd March 2012.
Keith was a member of the club for many years, serving as secretary and organising the annual PCN Championship. We remember him for the hard work and effort that he put into club activities. Keith had many friends up and down the country amongst the fraternity known as 'Brothers of the Briar'. Keith worked for many years as a bus conductor before being employed at Churchills tobacconists in Norwich, an establishment that he later took over. We shall all miss him greatly. We all send our sincerest condolences to Keith's family. Keith's funeral and celebration of his life was held at St Faiths crematorium on Friday 20th April at 3.30pm, and afterwards at the Jubilee, St Leonards Road, Norwich. Keith was given an excellent send-off with over 100 people attending the funeral and many going to the drinks afterwards. We were particularly pleased to see Richard Neville and PCN member David Polhill, both of whom had travelled a long way to attend the funeral. Donations to the Big C appeal, please. |

One of the most interesting AGMs for years.
Sadly the secretary resigned for personal reasons. Everyone at the club would like to thank Keith Garrard for his many years of hard work and service to the PCN. Keith used to organise the Norfolk Open Championships for us, a task that involved a lot of work. Thank you, Keith. The new officers are: Chairman - Len Ellis Secretary - John Walker Treasurer - Keith Coleman Auditor - Tony Larner |
