It is with great sadness that we have to report that, following his earlier issues and surgery, Keith died peacefully on April 23rd.

Our thoughts are with his family - wife Kath & sons Paul & Richard, at this time.

Keith's contribution to the club was significant, he had two spells where he was coaching and organising club athletes and activities; the first started some time in the 1980s when he was coaching and organising the Young athletes teams, which involved his sons.

This ended in the early 1990's, and his second spell was around 2015 when he again got involved in coaching and organising young athletes teams, this time involving his grandson Connor. He also acted as announcer when we hosted young athletes team matches, when he enthusiastically supported the athletes he knew.

The number of comments and reactions to the post yesterday are a testament as to just how popular Keith was with both athletes and parents.

We will miss his enthusiasm, his good humour and his love for the sport of athletics.
