It is with great sadness that the Club announces the death of Ron Aldridge yesterday, 12th September.
Ron first became involved with the club as club secretary for a four year period from 1985 to 1989.
His second period of involvement followed his retirement from the Institute of Purchase and Supply. He joined the board in 1999 serving as a director for six years. During his time on the board Ron was at various times safety officer and had a long spell as acting treasurer while Hilary Hudson was ill. He was also involved in the running of the midweek PASE under 19 team in the 2000-01 season.
Ron was a prodigious worker during his spell on the board and a very efficient treasurer who kept a tight rein on the purse strings at a time when the club was struggling a bit financially. He was also a significant shareholder of the club.
After stepping down from the board he continued to be a regular supporter and behind the scenes helper. Until his illness at the start of this season, he rarely missed a game, home or away.
Club Chairman, John Drewnicki, conveyed condolences to Peggy, sons Adam and Simon, daughter-in-law Finola and baby grandson Luke.
We will all miss a true friend and fellow supporter.
