News for Northern Ireland – 1 June 2014
We start with the very sad news that RSGB Deputy Regional Manager Melvyn Irvine, MI0MSR, passed away suddenly on Thursday evening whilst attending his local club. Melvyn was a faithful member of the Region 8 team and was well known as Jim Bob’s sidekick at rallies the length and breadth of the country. Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.
