Sadly, we have just learnt that a former record holder of AVR, Gerry Fice, passed away today, after a short battle with cancer.

The funeral will be held at the West Wiltshire Crematorium, Semington at 13:00 on Wednesday 28th March.

He used to run regularly with us when we ran from Clarendon and always had a smile on his face. I remember once that he was running just behind me down a steep slope during a training run, I fell at speed and he looked after me. A wonderful man.
