Frank's funeral arrangements - update Sunday 17 July

Please read if you wish to attend Frank's funeral.

The Funeral is going to be held at 11.15am on Monday 25th July at Breakspear Crematorium, Breakspear Road, Ruislip, Middlesex, HA4 7SJ.  The cortège will be traveling to the crematorium from Frank’s home in Greenford, Middx. The family and club would like Frank’s fellow cycling friends to ride with them (about 10 miles at 15 mph). This requires police agreement and escort, which has already been arranged.

Due to the number of cycling clubs and other friends that knew Frank, we are working together with his family to plan Frank’s funeral ride, and have little time to provide the number of riders to the police, and also numbers attending the service and wake to Frank’s family.

Cycling friends who will not be joining the cycle are, of course, very welcome to attend the service and the wake.

Can we ask you to please circulate this through your club and collate responses, by no later than Wednesday 20th July at 7pm.  This is required for the family to fully plan for this event and must be sent to us by the above date and time.

Please confirm if you and other club members will be attending, the ride, the funeral service (making your own way there) and the wake afterwards by clicking on the following link. Please only use this link if you have not notified your club contact.

The Ride details, timings and route will be published towards the end of the week on the new Kingston Phoenix RC website, which can be opened here: http://www.kprc.org.uk/. These details will only be published once we have final confirmation from the Police and Funeral Directors, with an agreed route and timings.

The Wake, if you will be in attendance, will be at The Barn Hotel, West End Road, Ruislip, HA4 6JB.

The family have requested no flowers. Donations can be made although these may go to more than one charity. At the time of sending this email we do not know how donations are to be made. We will put up relevant information as we get it, on our new website.

Thank you, Kingston Phoenix RC.

Added by Lisa: I have been told that there might also be an option for joining the ride closer to the crematorium for anyone daunted by the idea of 10 miles at 15mph. Keep watching the Phoenix website for details.
