It is with very great sadness that we have to report the death of our long time Committee member, Official and former Chairman Bill Woods. Bill had been feeling unwell recently and, after undergoing tests last week, his condition deteriorated rapidly and he passed away on Saturday 23rd August.

The service that Bill gave to our Club during a period of over 35 years was enormous and he has played a major role in the Club attaining its present healthy position. We are sure that all club members and Bill’s many other friends in the world of athletics, both in the North East and elsewhere in the country, will join in passing on our heartfelt sympathies to June, Gary and Karen and the rest of Bill’s family.
