Bog Dog Blog 28th June 2008


I am pleased to say that Keith Attwood came home from hospital last Tuesday after  having an operation following his recent heart attack and he is now resting at home. I am sure you will join me in wishing a full and speedy recovery.

Unfortunately I received some more upsetting news that Rosemary Taylor, the wife of the IWSA Chairman Roger Taylor, has been rushed into hospital with a brain tumour. I have not got any more news but I know you will all join me in wishing her well.
