We are sad to announce that former Committee Member Tom Williams passed away this weekend. Tom was with the Club for many years and during that time undertook several duties from standing on the gate, undertaking maintenance, cooking food for players and spectators and mostly will be known for running the bar up until the year before COVID. Tom, father of our Chairman Garry, retired from the Committee when he left the bar but would still be seen on a matchday lending a hand and offering advice while enjoying a well earned half of cider which was always ‘in’. After battling with illness for the last 12 months we learned the sad news yesterday that he passed away peacefully in Prince Charles Hospital. Tom will be sadly missed by all who knew him and our thoughts are with Garry and his family at this difficult time. We will be holding a minutes silence on Saturday before our games in tribute to Tom. Funeral details will be announced in due course. Rest In Peace Tom - your half of Symonds Cider will always be ‘in’.
