West Malling Active Retirement Association
Tribute, Neville Cording
We have recently lost a mainstay in the History of WestMARA – Neville Cording. Neville was a founder member of our club from its inception in 1995, when he became our very first Chairman, and his name also appears in the minute book as Chairman in 2003 – 8 years later. He was also a committee member in 2010, and elected Vice-Chairman again at AGM 2011. – 16 years on.
At one of our entertainment afternoons, his Son gave a musical demonstration on a ukulele and a mandolin both of which had been lovingly made by Neville – it was his passion, and he was extremely good at it!
Many years ago, he was a seasoned member of The San Fairy Ann Cycling Club, and kept his cycle in good condition ‘Just in Case!’ Being a man who liked to use his feet, he also used to take part in our Club walks, but when these became too much he turned to Line Dancing, and was to be seen regularly at Gerald Benham’s sessions in Larkfield Village Hall.
Tragically, due to Covid and ill health, Neville was obliged to isolate for a long period during lock down in 2020 and 2021, and these took their toll, and he passed away earlier this month (June21). He will be missed by everyone who knew him, especially us in WestMARA.
