OMG and ive been ringing him and not getting an answer.

For those that never new him he was a well spoken mild mannered man with a passion for our sport. He loved the competitions around the circuits.
A true ambassador for the AAOC. Dave was at this years meet supporting as usual.
RIP dear friend

A lovely gentleman and a great, soft spoken guy. Always helpful, I met him at each of our Meets and most recently at the Nuneaton one this summer. He did look like he was extremely lighter than I am used to seeing him but he did not make a fuss of his condition. He even gave me a venison burger to try and fix my hangover in the morning :(
I believe he enjoyed life to the full though and seemed in good spirits.
RIP, Dave.

Very sad news indeed.

Dave was a "Gentleman" from old AAOC and will be missed from this one.

R.I.P. Dave.
