It is with regret that we have received the news that that Marion Bamber passed away in her sleep at home. Marion was involved with Colchester Roller Hockey Club for around 20 years. For the last 10 of those years, despite her illness, she was instrumental in keeping the Club going, as without her driving force the club would have folded.
Marion will be a great loss to the sport
Everyone who knew Marion, will be aware that she has been fighting with Cancer for many years and never gave in. She was a brave lady and our thoughts are with her and her family.

For those of you who remember Bob Scrivens, who died recently, his funeral will be held at the Thanet Crematorium on Thursday June 2nd at 10am.

I have just heard the sad news from a fellow ex Herne United Roller Hockey player, Ian “Syd’ Horton, today, that former Ex-England and Herne United Goalkeeper, Robert “Bob” Scrivens, died on Thursday 19th May after a short illness.
Known to everyone as Bob, his playing career spanned from the mid 1950’s until he retired from the game at the end of the 1960’s. He won many winners and runners up medals with his only club Herne United in competitions during this time. But his finest display of goal keeping was when he was outstanding when the club won the 1967
Herne Bay Easter Festival beating the Italian National Club Champions, Candy Monza, in the final.
At International level Bob was selected for the England National team representing his country as listed below.
