RIP Lofty

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of David ‘Lofty’ Plattern on 23rd April. He was a stalwart of S&ERFC for many years, from the Minis through to the U21s as well as being a ref and helping to organise club holiday activities. He served in the Paras for many years including several tours of duty in Northern Ireland, and played second row for the Army team on many occasions. More recently Lofty spent many years working for the Royal British Legion and raising funds. In later times he and his wife Hilary moved to Northampton. His son Toby used to play for the club from Under 6 through to the youth section. Condolences to all of the family. As and when we know we will share funeral details.
