We would be pleased to see you afterwards at the Charing Pavilion,  Arthur Baker Playing Field, The Moat, Charing  TN27 0JJ (just off the A20) to raise a glass (or two) in Bob's memory. Please let Paul know via email at crankycrane2@hotmail.com or message him if you will be attending, especially if coming along to the Pavilion so that we know the numbers for the caterer. All are welcome and "Cranky" would have liked nothing more than to know that we are raising a glass in his memory. If you have any funny stories to tell please email these to Paul.  
  
His life was full of fun and colour and his specific wish was that his send off be the same. Therefore, no formal black suits, ties or dresses (casual / smart suits are fine). Please wear colourful clothing and come as comfortable as you feel, football shirts are welcome (except Millwall!)
