It is with great sadness that we have to pass on the news that Paul Bancroft passed away on 28 December 2009.  Paul became ill in November, was diagnosed with cancer in December and died peacefully at home with his family on 28 December. Paul will be greatly missed by everyone at RSC and especially by members of the Cruiser Fleet and Formula 1 fraternity. Paul willingly gave so much of his time to the club having been on Sailing Committee in recent years and he also served on Council and as a Flag Officer during the 24 years he was a member of the club.  Our thoughts are with Mary and the family at this difficult time.
