Death of Tyldesley stalwart

The death of Tyldesley stalwart Pat Lummis has been announced.

 

The Tyldesley Band has announced the death of Band Treasurer, Pat Lummis who passed away on Monday 18th October.

15 years

Pat had been involved with the band for over 15 years, and had taken the roles of band treasurer, contest secretary and was the central point for bookings and engagements.

Greatly missed

A spokesperson told 4BR: "His bookmakers business was once the band sponsor (Classic Racing Tyldesley Band), and his support has never stopped since. Our condolences go out to his family, with a huge thanks to Pat for his immeasurable contributions over the years — he will be very greatly missed."
