29 May 09 MIKE BUNDY’S COMMEMORATIVE TROPHY

 All club members and their families will be glad to hear that the new trophy to commemorate Mike’s dedication, commitment and loyalty to Grantham AC, has now been suitably named and engraved.

 After careful thought and consideration by Joyce and committee members, the Quaich has been named and hand engraved in script as follows:

 “The Mike Bundy President’s Cup”

 A plaque onto which recipients’ names can be engraved has also been attached to the base, with Ian Charles’s name being the inaugural inscription.

 Unlike other award winners, Ian was unable to see his name on the trophy on Presentation Night 2008, but as you will see from the photograph, a “second presentation” was made recently by Joyce to Ian on a Wednesday training night. 

 The engraved trophy has now been returned to the cabinet where it can be seen just in front of the framed photo of Mike and Joyce.

06 March 08 It is with great sadness to announce that club President, Chairman and co-founder of Grantham AC, Mike Bundy, died peacefully yesterday.

Mike picked up a chest infection last month, shortly after his 80th birthday. He developed pneumonia which eventually overpowered his resistance to fight it. Tributes to Mike can be made via the Grantham Journal. Details of the funeral arrangements will be posted here as soon as they are known.

Mike: Good-bye, God-bless and thank you for all you have done for athletes and athletics.
