Club Chairman Maurice Rourke
It is with great sadness that I have to announce the passing our OO Live Steam Club Chairman Maurice Rourke.
Prior to becoming the club chairman Maurice had for several years managed the operation and bookings for the club Roadshow. He was also the driving force behind the Engine Shed loco sales, the two club special edition locos and most recently, despite failing health, was still involved with the setting up of the new OOLS Service & Repair scheme.
Maurice has been a good friend to many of you and has done much to help many individuals either to buy, sell, maintain or look after their OO Live Steam collections.
Maurice has been a great asset to the club and his presence will be sorely missed as we continue to move forward.
