Just asked for Ben to post more detail re payment etc xx

Used to have a beer in the same pub as him & his brother, when he was in town.
Good bloke.

R.I.P Tim

Was that in the Leewood or the George by any chance?

Well said Cricketfield. Tim B-T born and bred in Buxton. He was a true Buxtonian, part of a well known local family. The town was very proud of him. Glad you got to meet him and experience the delights of the Cavendish Golf Club. RIP Tim.
