RIP Derek, I did not know you for yery long but I remember you from my first time judging with GBBTA and you made me feel very welcome. You will be sadly missed.

Hi all;
It is really hard to come to terms that one of team so close to our hearts has past away this morning. Derek was an amazing person i can say that there was never a dull moment when he was around. My great memories will be from the weekends away with times in the evening to the long days when we would be on our last legs he'd be there to make us smile. My thoughts are with Jean, his family and friends at this sad time.
Just like Albert said; "Once Meet Never Forgotten" R.I.P in Derek Clarke.
Jordan (Official) x

Deeply upset to hear the news. Thinking of Jean and her family right now. Couldn't of met a nicer guy! I'm absolutely gutted. R.I.P Derek, you will not be forgotten. Look after my nanna :'( xx

What will the committee and GBBTA do with out you Derek, my love and best wishes go out to Jean, Alyson and family, he will be truly missed.
