It is with great sadness that I have to report the death of former Gloucester AC member, Ron Freeman, who died in Cheltenham General Hospital last Saturday (27th) at the age of 85. The official cause of death has been recorded as bronchial pneumonia.

Ron will be well-known to many of our young-to-middle aged members for his officiating duties at local fixtures which he performed with great diligence but he made a great contribution to Gloucester Athletic Club and athletics, in general. An example: he was instumental in allowing women to compete alongside men in road races

Ron's funeral wil be at Gloucester Crematoriam on Dec 23rd at 15:00,
