We are sad to report that George Rich, our Honorary President, has passed away. He had been unwell for some time. George celebrated his 90th birthday earlier this year.George was an active member of our club for many decades, and he helped run it for many years, holding numerous posts including the key post of runs secretary. George's exceptional service to CTC Cambridge is reflected in his having been awarded the Len Nice Trophy no fewer than sixteen times since 1957, and in being elected to the position of Honorary President in 2007.
George's funeral will be held on Monday 23rd November at 11am at Barton Woodland Burial Ground. However, because of the pandemic, restrictions at the venue mean that numbers are strictly limited and so there can't be a general invitation to members to attend. A small number of members have arranged to attend to represent the club.
CTC Cambridge will be organising a ride and a special event for members to celebrate George's life when group rides and gatherings are allowed again.
