Ady Brown

The CS&PF President, Mike Ball and all the committee are deeply saddened by the passing of Ady Brown.

As a new member to the committee, Ady had already made his presence felt and his valuable knowledgeable contributions will be missed. Many of us have known him for a while as a Channel swimmer, attending swim camps, and generally being a big personality with a great sense of humour. Our thoughts are with his family and close friends at this time.
