Thread Name: Obit: Farewell to Bob Merrett
Subject: RE: Obit: Farewell to Bob Merrett
unfortunately I have just read the sad news of Bobs death after trawling the net.Myself,Edy & Paul Hackman revisited the Hatch,The Pilgrim,& rough camped on Ranmore on 13&14 July 2010 for a nostagic trip down memory lane.It certainly re-kindled our memory of the place,the folks,singers and happy times spent at the Hatch.I have lived in North Yorkshire with my wife Carol and two sons for many years.Paul returned to the UK in 2009 after 29yrs in Australia and Ed lives and works in Croydon.I became quite ill 3yrs ago but hopefully am over the worst.I was 60 yesterday & semi-retired.I have many interesting and lasting memories of Bob going back to 1970.I last met him in The Criceters,Dorking circa 1999/2000.We are hoping to revisit Tanners Folk this coming Sept.but will sadly miss seeing Bob there.
