Dear CCC Member and Friends of CCC<\/p>\n

It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that Karl Austin was killed in a time-trial accident just after 8 o\u2019clock last night. He was riding in a South Pennine Club ’10’ on the A50 at Etwall, when he was struck from behind by an HGV. Mercifully, the police said that he would have known nothing about it.<\/p>\n

At this time, our thoughts must be with Linda, Katie and Simon and, of course, Joyce and Keith. I am sure that we will all want to do whatever we can to help them through this time of great sorrow. That is all that I can tell you at this time.<\/p>\n

Bob.

08\/07\/2011 – Funeral Arrangements<\/strong><\/p>\n

Karl Austin\u2019s Funeral will be on Thursday July 14 at 2 p.m. The service, which will be a civil ceremony, will take place at Bradwell Crematorium, Chatterley Close, Newcastle-under-Lyme, ST5 8LE. Linda would like as many clubs as possible to attend in their club colours. Parking for bikes and cars is available at or near the Crematorium.<\/p>\n

This will be followed by a celebration of Karl\u2019s life at Allostock Village Hall<\/em>, Chapel Lane, Allostock, Knutsford, Cheshire, WA16 9LN. This is a 1 hour bike ride from the crematorium and is located just off the A50, about 2 miles north of Holmes Chapel. The gathering (with refreshments) will commence around 3.30 p.m. and will finish at 6 p.m. Parking at the V.H. will be open from noon. See Route Map<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Linda has asked for no flowers, but rather donations to Wheels for All<\/a> which provides adapted cycling equipment and cycling activity programs for people with disability and differing needs. This is the same charity to which donations went following Graham McCargo\u2019s funeral 4 years ago. You can make a donation at www.justgiving.com\/Karl-Austin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Linda and family and Joyce and Keith are very appreciative of all your cards and messages of support and condolence.<\/p>\n
