Slightly late to this but...
I was on the Lea Valley committee with Bob so knew him well. He was simultaneously one of the club's biggest assets and also its biggest liability. He did a huge amount of work behind the scenes that no-one outside the committee saw but he also caused untold problems because he could not keep his mouth shut. He almost caused the club to fold because he fell out with the shotgun club that LV sub-let the ground from and they nearly pulled the lease. There were people desperately looking for an alternative site before things were patched up enough to keep the club going there. The same lack of gob control was what got him banned here, more than once.

Hi Kes/Steve. How are you?
