It is with great sadness that we have to announce the passing of John McIntosh, "Tosh " to us all, on Saturday 19th February following a long fight against illness, bravely borne.

Tosh was a player, supporter, Vice President and above all a larger than life character at WRFC over many years and will be greatly missed by all that knew him.

Our very sincere condolonces are with Mandy, Ali, Cal, his family and his many many friends, at this incredibly sad time.

Tosh’s funeral will be held at Harbour View (BH16 6AN) on Tuesday 8th March at 2:30pm.

Following the service, Mandy, Ali and Cal would like to invite everyone to join them at Cobham Sports & Social Bar for refreshments (BH21 3DA).

Due to the anticipated large numbers of people wishing to pay their respects, could we ask that you advise Maria of your intended attendance, to provide a feel for numbers expected. m_hayter@sky.com or 07510544926

If you are unable to join on the day, a weblink to watch the service live will be made available nearer the time.

Mandy kindly requests no flowers. Instead, a donation to The Brain Tumour Charity would be greatly appreciated.

The JustGiving page has been set up as Mandy will be be running the London Marathon on the 2nd October 2022, to raise funds in Tosh's memory, for this very worthy cause.

Any donation would be greatly appreciated and the total will be added to the £65,000 already raised by the boys cycle ride last year. 

Sleep well Tosh.
No Surrender and always remembered.
