It is with great sadness that we learned on Friday that Graham Garratt had lost his fight with cancer.
Graham fought the cancer for 5 years and despite this was always cheerful and smiling. Graham had been a Scooterist for a long time and those members who have been in the scene since the 1980's will be able to recount tales from the past and have many happy memories of Graham, as well as those who got to know him more recently.
The funeral will take place on Friday 23rd November. Colin has arranged the rideout for this. We will meet at The Millpool, Hipswell Highway at 10:30, leaving at 10:50 to travel to the house and then on to Canley Crematorium for the funeral service at 11:30.
If anyone has any photos of Graham from the eighties, nineties, early 2000 or scooter related can you send a copy to Carmel, or the Webmaster, who will forward them, please. Please feel free to send flowers or donate to Cancer Research on Hacketts web site or both.
Casual dress please, Graham would want you to be comfortable on the day.
We will keep you updated if anything changes and details are also on the AONSC Facebook page.
RIP Graham, you will be missed.
