Up The Creek - Author - Graham Evans

 In August 2019, Graham "Taff"  Evans passed away and will be sadly missed by all that knew him, as a friend , colleague and medical branch member.

Steve Edwards wrote on FB--

It is with great sadness and deep regret I have to report that our friend and colleague,"Taff" Graham Evans crossed the bar last night. 
He lost his fight with cancer,he fought to the end. 
He was one of life / the branches nice guys.I first met him in TD summer of '73 he was a character then.
My deepest sympathy to Liz,Rhian Morgan and all the family and friends.
I did "the bump" with him more than anyone else.
You will be greatly missed my friend.
No more pain,or suffering,just pleasant dreams.
Sleep well till we meet again at the FRV.
RIP Taff.



Now all those that knew him will also know that he compiled and wrote a book called "Up The Creek" which sold quite well, so I am told. I have a copy which Graham gave me as a freebie and he said that I could post it on the RNH blog after he had sold all of his last re-write. All of which were snapped up after the last or previous reunion as far as I'm aware.

So over the next months I will post "Up The Creek" on our blog. This will not be an easy task because scanning the pages without destroying the book will not be an easy task.

A few of the Photographs remain crown copyright, so if they catch up with me, I will regrettably take down if requested. Lets live life on the edge, Graham would want it that way lol.



I did originally plan to post the book using the blog pages but over the last few days I have found that they are difficult to read and view, so I have decided to create them in a Picture Album the link of which is in the updated photos box upper rt side on this blog. Click the link and it will take you to the album. 


Our 2020 Reunion has been cancelled.

 


The RNH Plymouth re-union due to take place on Friday 02 and Saturday 03 October 2020 has now been cancelled due to the current Covid Pandemic.

Following talks with the hotel Steve Edwards and hotel management have agreed that the reunion will not be able to take place this year.

But on the bright side, the Reunion will go ahead but next year on 8th & 9th of October 2021

We look forward to seeing you all again, same place, same time, next year.

Our condolences go to the hotel bar staff and the greatly reduced bar talkings.
