It is with deepest regret that TASC has learned of the passing of club member Peter Cloke.

Peter was a fervent Cornwall supporter and a regular traveller on Trelawny’s Army trips. He played for St. Austell RFC and was a keen supporter of the Cornish All Blacks. His presence at games over the last few years was cut short by ill health, but many of us remember his kind and pleasant comradeship wherever he went.

Funeral arrangements, Peter’s Funeral will be held on 14th August at 11.30am. Glynn Valley Crematorium, Bodmin. Sarah has requested that :- Family flowers only but donations in lieu to Cornwall Arthritis Trust and FLEET. Cornish Tartan attire is welcome. Everyone is welcome to join us afterwards at St. Austell Rugby Club for refreshments.

Should also note that we will be signing Trelawny during the service so would like some rousing voices! Perhaps a sing song at the rugby club after to if possible!

We send our deepest condolences to Sarah his daughter and her family.
