Dear All,

The committee has received the sad news that Fred Daldry, a primary member of our group, died in Bournemouth Hospital on 11 Jan, having tested positive for Covid-19. Fred was instrumental in setting up and running the Dorset Doddle and also the Purbeck Plod, which is still run each year by East Dorset Ramblers.

His daughter, Maggie, has sent details of the Webcast of his funeral, for anyone who wishes to join. Please see below:

Service Date:        27 Jan 1.30pm

The Obitus website also sends the following information: You can login to our website at any time to view a test connection (and we strongly recommend you do this) but you'll only be able to view the Live Webcast approx. 5 mins before the service start time. Please be aware this is a public building and the timing of the Live webcast is semi-automated to allow for services running early or late – please use your discretion if you can see activities not applicable to the service you are here to watch. Once the service has finished, it will take us up to 3 working days to get the 28-day Watch Again onto the website.

Please do not reply directly to this email as it is from an unmonitored email account used for outgoing messages only.
