Sue Sayer

DEATH OF SUE SAYER

Everyone connected with athletics in Wales will have been shocked and saddened by the news of the sudden death of Sue Sayer, of Deeside AAC.

 The president of Welsh Athletics, she was taken ill while driving home from the indoor international meeting in Cardiff on Sunday evening.

 She was a stalwart of the sport, serving as chairman of the Deeside club, chairman of the North Wales Regional Council and, for two years, a hard-working national President. She was also secretary of the Welsh track and field committee.

 Our heartfelt sympathy goes to Ivor and children Caroline and Richard, all of whom have made a huge contribution to the sport. Sue will be very sadly missed.

 Sue's death follows the recent tragic death of Gareth Brooks, 35-year-old son of Paul Brooks, who is secretary of the North Wales Regional Council and secretary of the Welsh road-running committee. Gareth contracted a virus a few weeks ago and it affected his liver. His condition deteriorated and he died in hospital in Wrexham.
