From Chris Hurrell -
As you may know Ken Stott died recently. I have just had notification from the family of the funeral arrangements and thought that you and others may wish to know if you already don't.
Service at Shrewsbury Crematorium, Monday 15th Aug at 10.45. Donations towards the Air Ambulance.
Afterwards at The King Head in Guilsfield midday-ish onwards.
