Tony Beardsley

Tony Beardsley was an original member of Erewash Ramblers Committee, starting out as Programme Secretary and then becoming Chairman. After 45 years on the Committee, Tony has decided to step down. We would like to thank him for his experience, knowledge and good humour and I'm sure we'll still meet up on our post-walk lunches. Cheers, Tony!
