Some terribly sad news...

   I'm sorry to announce that long-time poster on this forum and general all-round good-guy Roger (Battersby)passed away yesterday.

Cameron and I only met Roger a few years ago when we were sailing the D-Ones, and a more genuine and true gentleman you couldn't wish to meet.  His advice, encouragement and support of Cameron has been continuous since then.

Roger will be sorely missed by all that knew him socially, through work and the numerous dinghy classes he's been involved with over the years.
