Sad news from Parkwood 4x4 (Tong)
A some of you may know, I have worked up at Parkwood 4x4 for the last 10 or so years as a 4x4 instructor and marshal and have held a few Disco 3-4 club days at the superb off road site.
Sad news broke over the weekend regarding the sudden death of the site owner and events manager Rebecca. Devastating for all her family and friends and those of us that worked for her (a couple of other forum members are also marshals there).
I'm sure any of you that have been up there will remember Rebecca, a fantastic lady who was dedicated to the business and loved everything 4x4.
The family have asked to be left in peace to grieve but I will be giving some thoughts to a fund-raising page or similar in due course.
RIP Rebecca 2020 BMW X1 18d XDrive X-Line Auto
