Ex-Chairman & general Leos Main Man Paul Marshall ("Marsh") sadly passed away this week after a brief illness. It's fair to say that Paul was the very heartbeat of the club for 20+ years from the 80s until his retirement to France in 2008, serving the club in just about every role imaginable.

His standards could be exacting, and until you'd experienced your first scolding for falling short, you couldn't really say you'd arrived as a Leo. However these admonishments were almost immediately forgotten by both parties, and the genial, helpful, guitar-playing soul who had Leos written through him like a stick of rock, re-emerged. He will be sorely missed.

If you have stories, pictures or memories of Marsh, which so many of us will, then please do share below or send through to me at nick.burdon@hotmail.co.uk. As would be nice to share with the wider group and Marsh's family.

Events to commemorate and remember Paul will of course be organised once the current situation allows.

Our sympathies and thoughts go to all of Paul’s family and friends, especially Lorraine, Charlie and Emily.
