Monsport (Malcolm) Lost his battle

[HartgeH27]

Sad news.

Malcolm AKA Monsport who used to meet us up the hill finally lost his battle with cancer.

I feel an empty space on the zone.

Malcolm has been around for many years on the zone and was a true gent.

I will be attending his funeral.

Iain

[chu346]

He was a nice guy always offering advise. Sad to hear the news

[E30Mark]

Was thinking of him yesterday for some reason.

As you said Iain, he was a true gent, and will be sadly missed.

[Gortour]

Iain, please pass on our deepest sympathies for his wife and family's loss.
Malc was a super guy, one of the best.

If there is a collection for his wife, or donations going to Cancer Research / Macmillan or wherever, let me know mate.
I'd be happy to contribute.

[HartgeH27]

It would be good to have a collection.

What do others think ?

[E30Mark]

It would be good to have a collection.

What do others think ?

Go for it, I just raised this question in the Mods section...

[Gortour]

I'll have a go at starting a collection off in justgiving if people want to donate.
Will it go to charity or to Malc's family Iain?

[HartgeH27]

I will find out from Sheila.

Thanks Gordon.

[whipsey]

Condolences to his family and friends

[Gwynleym10]

Will always remember him as the automatic racer!

[Rosc0PColtrane]

I only briefly chatted with Malcom a couple months ago, got talking about his work. Lovely fella and was happy to bend over backwards for people.

My thoughts are with his family.

[gaszman]

we could have a collection then arange a meet some where close to pompy like porchester castle so everyone could bring there cars and show respect for malcolm only met him once me and adam and what a man a true gent will be sadley missed my condolences to the family .

[Gortour]

Wonderful idea Dave. I like that, and I think Malc would have appreciated it too.

Over to you for approval Iain, I'll set up anything you'd like me to mate.

[HartgeH27]

An excellent idea.

Think Porchester Castle would be good but up Portsdown Hill is where we remember him.

What you think guys ?

[fuzzy]

didnt know the man but its always sad to hear of a respected member passing away. condolences to his family

[Gortour]

Iain, Portsdown sounds great to me. Your call mate. You're the one in contact with Malc's wife.
Maybe she could go to Portsdown too, and we could hand over the collection to her to donate to wherever herself.
We could do a collection thread and have cash and cheques sent to your good self for the donation process.

As said, I'll set up anything you want sorted.

[eko]

Such sad news.Condolences and best wishes to his wife and family.
Cancer is a horrid thing and destroys so many lives in its process.
Id be happy to donate to a charity,ill watch this post for an update of where to send.

RIP Malc.

[HartgeH27]

Gordon,

Can you set up a collection then as I dont want funds to get mixed up with merchandise funds.

Perhaps to your paypal to keep it simple?

I will throw a tenner in to get it rolling.

What date is good for peeps ?

[eko]

I can only pay by cheque im afraid,cont want to make things awkward

[gaszman]

im up for any thing just thought about the castle cos its a nice place to meet inside ect next to the keep have the nos for bookings so i could get a price or haggle with english heritge if you like maybe i could sweet talk them into letting us in for nowt if we have a good turn up. but if you wont to go to the burger bar no probs im with the you guys.

[HartgeH27]

On reflection think you are right and its a good call...............see what you can do ?

[gaszman]

will give them a call nos needed first approx if you no what i mean

[HartgeH27]

Go for around 15....pure guess but we need to start somewhere. Thanks !

[Simon]

Shocked

He only posted earlier in the week...

I met Malc at the Rockingham E30 21st bash, true gent, and will be sadly missed.

The grandad of the zone..thoughts go out to all the family.



Hope you didn't mind the picture spook..

[Gortour]

Wonderful picture Simon, just how I remember him. With a smile and with that lovely car of his...

Not knowing where the money is going is the problem Iain, do you want to just collect cash and hand it over to Sheila, or would she rather we collect and send to charity, Cancer Research or Macmillan or wherever?
I think if it goes to a charity and we use something like justgiving, we get the tax back off that thieving b'stard Mr Brown at the Chancellery...

[Andy325i]

A sad day. Thoughts to his family. He was a very helpful guy, never met him but he helped me a couple of times with info.

Whats the news on setting the collection up guys?

Andy

[spook]

our next meet will be up at the hill, and a drive down to porchy castle,
the monsport meet, its your shout gazman, lets see a good turn out for malcolm

[Gortour]

Good call Spook, Dave, the next meet, The Monsport Meet, is all yours.

Feel free to PM me if you need help with the setup. I'm more than happy to help.
