As we all know, Dave Neave has sadly passed away. Due to COVID restrictions only 30 people are allowed to attend the funeral but Tina and the family have published the funeral procession route and therefore any Rochford Hundred Rugby Football Club members who are available and wish to pay their last respects to Dave are asked to gather on Rectory Road at the traffic lights where Magnolia Road begins (You can easily park in the Magnolia Park car park).

Dave leaves Pudsey Hall Road at 1pm, goes to South Fambridge then up Lower Road, through Hockley and then comes along Rectory Road, under the bridge and then passed the entrance to the Club at Magnolia Road.

So as many people as possible who knew Dave and are available, I would say get there from 1.15 on 15 April and you will be on time to clap him as he goes by.
