THE BOINGER BASH AT QUIGLEY HOLLOW. MAKING GREAT MEMORIES SINCE 15th JUNE, 2013.
NEXT EVENT :- August 3/4, 2024.........BOING!!
I've just read this thread and I'm very saddened by the news.
As others have said Gwyn was a real gent and a proper character. It was a pleasure to sit by the fire and listen to his stories.
I've just told Emma the news and she has asked me to pass on her condolences.
Rest in peace Gwyn.
Are there any of the Bash members who live near to Gwyn who may or are able to attend his funeral on behalf of the Rest of the Bash members.

Does anybody else remember the time when Gwyn bought a new "Quick Erect" tent and spent five hours trying to put it up before giving in and accepting ten minutes help from someone else ?
Made me tired watching it but we had a good laugh about it later.
I don’t think Gwyn ever erected his own tent . He would arrive and ‘struggle’ for 10 minutes until a few of us jumped in and put it up for him as he was always the unofficial dignitary of The Bash. He would get his chair out, pour a red wine into his famous pewter goblet and watch us put his tent up whilst keeping us entertained with his regaling of stories and wonderful wit. Crafty bugger I reckon
I remember drinking with him and others until the early hours of the morning when he became very drunk, he said he was quite surprised to be in that state as he had only had one bottle of red wine….. turns out it was a bottle of port he had sunk . I had to ‘carry’ him back to his tent and get him into his bed .

I can't believe he'd ask you for help, Paul.
Not after seeing the ballsup you did when you put the tent door towards the hedge so you couldn't get in it.
I remember leaving the Quigley Hollow fire at about midnight once and when I got back at eight the next morning you were all still sitting in the same places.
So sad,
Gwyn was a one off and as said by many a true gent.
My sincere condolences to his family.
