It is with considerable sadness that we write to advise Fellows that Clive Timms sadly passed away last night, Friday 21 December 2018, having fought a courageous battle with Motor Neurone Disease, (MND).
Clive was well known to Fellows as a past Chairman of the FELLOWSHIP and more recently its Honorary Secretary. He was a real gentleman and a wonderful friend to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. His common sense approach to his roles within the FELLOWSHIP were always valued and respected and he will be hugely missed by everyone who had the good fortune of knowing him.

Fellowship Committee Member Paul Barrett has been persuaded to take part in a Cross-Channel Relay Swim. He's not really not sure how he agreed to this and whether he was totally sober at the time however as the fittest member of the committee he was the obvious choice!
They say that growing old is compulsory but growing up is optional and Paul has obviously decided that he still needs another challenge in life to stay young. He is doing this to raise money for BEN, the automotive industry charity and any support that Fellows can provide in the form of sponsorship would be hugely appreciated.
