I read recently of the passing of our friend Dave Robinson. Please pass my most heartfelt condolences to his family. He was always such a presence and I am certain that his loss will be felt by everyone his life touched, however briefly. Whilst my time with Dave over the years has been relatively brief, he has left me with memories I shall treasure. I was only looking over the weekend at some documents and saw a picture of Dave and thought of him. He shall be sorely missed by a great many people, and the whole of our local swimming community.
