Sad to hear about Jol Collas and Des Hinton, both nice fellas, I remember Jol as being quite a laid back character and as for Des, he was a great athlete, a very good middle distance runner. We ran a fair bit together, I think at the E.S Marks Field, you'd probably remember that too, Pony, sad to hear of their passing.

Des left Nirimba just before I joined, but I "ran" into him as IS trials. Nice guy from what I remember again taken far too early. Vale Des.
