************Gareth Watkins***********

It is another very sad occasion as we have to report the passing of our Life Vice President Gareth Watkins today Sunday 16th March after a long illness.

Gareth was a staunch supporter of the BICC for a very long time carrying out many roles including Committee member, championing our Welsh members and Press Officer where he excelled himself. No matter how big or small Gareth’s reports were always captivating and an interesting read.

Gareth, you fought a hard battle and tried not to give in. Rest in peace. From all your friends in the BICC.  Tribute to Gareth Here
