With much sadness, we have to report the death of Keith Aldridge on Thursday 23 April 2020. Below is a tribute from Bob Roberts, Current Club Treasurer, who was a close friend and colleague of Keith. Due to the current restrictions, club members will be unable to attend the funeral but we will mark his passing, in the appropriate way, when possible. Our thoughts are with Keith's family at this sad time. 

Keith Aldridge was born in Bridgewater on the 26th April 1942 and died on the 23rd April 2020, just 3 days before his 79th birthday.

His family came to Coventry when he passed his 11 plus exam so that he could attend King Henry viii school.

He went into accountancy when he left school and joined Barkers Butts in 1957 spending many years on the committee and was Treasurer until 1999. He was an avid and vociferous supporter until the end.
