I have just spoken to Cezar and at the time of this posting he is making his way out to buy the Condolence Book for our lost Friend and Member.
This Wednesday is the introduction to a New Meet in Waterloo “The Cubana” which has been spoken about a lot in the Forums.
It has been agreed that it would be fitting to open the Condolence Book for signing at this New Meet in Memory of Ali and then the Book will be located at The Ace Cafe this weekend for others to sign before being passed on to The Family.
It would be lovely to see a good turn out at “The Cubana” seeing as that we now have a Personal Reason to be there.
That’s really good Barro. Thanks for your support and help by organizing it mate. After that the book will be at the Ace Cafe from Thursday onwards.
This way people that live this side (I’m south)of the river will be able to sign it without have to cross the city up to the ace. Hope it makes things easy!
I agree with you Jay! It’s very saad that our first meeting will host this condolences book to a very dear fellow member and my personal friend…
Look at it from another angle Cezar, If we were to make this a really popular meet you would always have the knowledge that your valued friend was one of the main reasons for its success and the gathering in the first place. I think he,d be proud of that honour mate.
Can I suggest that since it appears to be a good turn out that we combine both the signing of the condolence book and the collection of money for flowers?
All due respect Capt, Im not the guy handling that so I couldnt comment. I shouldnt see it being a problem if the right person is there at the time, Cezar, Jay, Foxy…someone like that will probably put you right .
flowers could be a good idea guys but the case is that the funeral will be held tomorrow and so we don’t have time for that. Sam which is the person dealing with the family is going to ask them what they think about the flowers but it’s just too near to the funeral time… The condolence book will do well…
sorry mate are you asking this to me about removing a pic and sending me a pm? i didn’t receive any pm’s from you nor put any pics… sorry am i reading this wrong? forgive me if i am
Wish i had known you were getting condolence book, i work in a bookbinders and do all that sort of stuff, there a shop that sels it at horseferry rd, Shepherds so could have got it cost.
The shop earnt a shit load when the bombings happened, they didnt know who they were for and some1 came in the shop a bought a load of em, 30 i think @ £90 a pop.
Top gooner, you not far from me, am in bermondsey rotherhithe-jamaica rd/the blue.
Thank you all for organising this and i know his family will really appreciate this for him. I meeting his best friend later on today and he will be giving me more info on the funeral.
Can we ask people to write what forum they belong to (mainly aimed at people from other forums as i have put up posts on other forums too) if any as it might make it less of a case of Andy no1, Andy no2 etc… ?
This is what i wrote on sv650.org where Ali also frequented:
"I urge anyone from .org around the london area to come and write something for Ali. If you decide to write a message for him please write that your from .org as it might become a case of for example Andy no1, Andy no2 etc… "
