It is with great sadness that we share the news that one of our Tynedale family, Andrew Forster, has suddenly passed away.
Andy (Caveman) loved his rugby and was a regular player in what was the first Tynedale Under 20 team, the Hadrians, and then went on to play in the well-remembered Grasshoppers era.
After his playing days he was a regular at Tynedale Park and, of course, a regular visitor to our Beer Festival.
Our thoughts are with Andy, Sarah, Anthony, Ailsa and all his family and his friends at this terribly sad time. RIP Andy.
Message from Sarah:-
"Andy’s Funeral will be held on Friday 11th February, Mountsett Crematorium at 11.45am.
Arrangements have been made for anyone who wishes to, to watch the service via live stream to be played at Tynedale Rugby club. This link will also be available for anyone who is unable to attend who wishes to watch the service from home.
Family flowers only please. Donations in lieu for British Heart Foundation.
We will be raising a glass in memory of Andy's life at Tynedale Rugby club following the service for anyone who wishes to join us."
"The following tribute and donation page has been set up in memory of Andy. I am having issues changing the picture from the “flower” to a picture of Andy! I know he would find it funny so I have gone ahead with publishing the link until I can have it changed. "
