E30 Zone

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

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

Was thinking of him yesterday for some reason.

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

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.

It would be good to have a collection.

What do others think ?

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

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?

I will find out from Sheila.

Thanks Gordon.

i'll put into this just let us know where it needs sending to

monsport was a good guy, i remeber him and his his wisdom from teh old zone when i first joined

great guy, a great loss indeed

malc was a really nice bloke, i met him a few times and enjoyed his company,this is sad news,
a collection is in order,
RIP malc.

Indeed Spook, RIP Malc.

Let me know where Malc would want the donations sent and I'll set the collection up, Iain.

He shall be missed, one of the original zoners and a very very nice geezer

RIP Malcolm, condolences to all the family from me and mine..

Very nice guy!

Very sad news, never met him but to lose anyone like that is not right

Condolences to his family and friends

Will always remember him as the automatic racer!

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.

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 .

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.

An excellent idea.

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

What you think guys ?

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

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.

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.

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 ?

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

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.

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

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

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

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..

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...

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

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

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.
