It is with a heavy heart that i write about the sad passing of Ann Homes. Ann passed away yesterday morning after a short illness. I had the pleasure of working along side Ann for many years as well as sharing her great passion for hound trailing. You could not have met a nicer, kinder person than Ann. She would always go the extra mile to help others less fortunate than herself and over the years supported many families in the Penrith Area during her long carer as a nurse. She was the most genuine and down to earth person you could have ever met. Our thoughts are with Malcolm and his family at this very, very sad time, she will be missed by so many people.

Funeral arrangements to follow.

Fiona

Just to confirm that there will be home made catering on Thursday and that there will be a Cup for the hound with the most points over the two meetings.
