Further to the shock announcement of the passing of our good friend Roger on 5th May 2021, we can now advise the following information:

Roger's funeral will take place at 11.30am on Friday 21st May at Harbour View Crematorium, Lytchett Minster.

Due to the current Covid restrictions, Donna, Charlotte and Tom have been faced with the difficult situation of creating an Invitation List for the funeral. 

In addition to those attending the funeral, there will be many more that would like to pay their respects.
To this end, you are invited to line the route as the family, and Roger, leave the family home for the last time together.

The funeral cortege will be leaving 19 Tudor Road at approximately 11.00am, (exact time to be confirmed) and take the following route:

19 Tudor Road, Broadstone BH18 8LP
South along Tudor Road
West Into Macaulay Road
South along Kirkway.

Parking in Tudor Road will not be possible but public car parks behind the shops in Kirkway are only a very short walk.

There will be a LIVE webcast of the funeral, which will also be available to watch later.
Please Click Here >>> for the Webcast.

The family request no flowers please, but if anyone would like to make a donation in memory of Roger, the two following charities were close to Roger's heart:

Road to Dam: The BRAIN TUMOUR CHARITY >>> 

Ben Nevis 2021 - UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS DORSET NHS CHARITY


Wimborne RFC has its 1st senior home match tomorrow (15th May 2pm KO) where The Club will hold a minute's celebration before the match as a mark of respect.

All are welcome to attend in these difficult times.

Roger's family would like to thank everyone for their support and the love they have received.
