Goodbye Vern (aka Kaya) you will be missed

[Matthews]

Sorry to let people know that Vern (Kaya and our area coordinator) passed away earlier this evening after a couple of years fighting cancer .
Those that met him will miss him and those that didn't have missed an experience .
He'll be organising rides in good weather from now on .
