Quite a while ago I had the idea of getting a book printed with messages of thanks from FF members to be given to Dave King to mark the gratitude we hold for his actions in orchestrating the saving of our club. It in no way overlooks or plays down the appreciation for other absolute hero's, but his stepping down as Chairman was a thing I, and you, felt should be marked in some way.
Covid and a few personal issues delayed it, however I managed to rope in a remarkable person to help and basically pass all the difficult bits on to. @Scarlett took all of your messages, my scribblings and a couple of longer pieces and formatted them, edited and spell checked them, then organised the printing of those messages into a beautiful book that is now ready to be handed to the man. The amount of work she has put into it cannot be underestimated and in truth, she is the sole reason it has finally been completed.
I Emailed the SLO on Monday and have been trying to phone him all week, as well as having left a message on here but have had no joy getting a reply so I am now looking at ways of being able to hand the book over that do not involve the club facilitating things. I imaging Greg has a whole load of work on his plate and a gift to be handed over to Dave King potentially does not rank too high so think it is probably best if I look for another route. If anyone can help in that regard, I would be very appreciative!
