Patrick Bickers
One of the founding committee members of The Great Milk (stout) Ride, run in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support, Patrick Bickers, of Glasshouses, died from cancer, on Friday 3rd October in Harrogate District Hospital, surrounded by his family.
A tireless worker for this annual Nidderdale event, which has raised over £350,000 since 1993, Patrick devised and looked after the complex registration system and was instrumental in steering the process through to an automatic on-line procedure, when the new website was introduced last year.
He is survived by his wife Margaret and sons Luke and Richard, who wish to pass on their appreciation to all the doctors and staff at the hospital, for their devoted care during Patrick’s illness.
The funeral was held at St Cuthbert’s Church, Pateley Bridge on Friday 10th October at 1pm, conducted by Fr Peter Dunbar. Donations to The Great Milk (stout) Ride, may be sent to:
