A Great Loss

Meldreth people who have used our service in the past will surely remember our long serving Meldreth driver, Tony Brennan, known to many as “The Man with the Hat”, so it is with regret that we have heard that Tony has recently passed away. Available five days a week for any sort of journey, reliable Tony was of great value to all of us who needed his service.

One interesting snippet I heard from a passenger I was driving to Addenbrookes was the sometime difficulty in recognising a driver when coming back from a clinic. Of course, Tony's hat made him easy to spot - until one day it fell off while he was dozing. It took his passenger a few walks up and down the Outpatients’ waiting area before she spotted the hat by his chair! Thank you Tony, we will miss you but not forget you. Our thoughts are with Non, his partner.

RDCT on the Radio

We were recently delighted to receive a grant of £1920 from the Cambridgeshire Community Fund. BBC Radio Cambridgeshire was made aware of our successful application and asked if we could supply a driver and passenger for a live interview with their presenter Dotty on their Morning Programme. I was asked to represent RDCT and a well known Melbourn personality, Colin Limming, agreed to represent passengers. It took a while to find a volunteer – as well as being live, it was scheduled for 7.35am!
