Gruff/ As many of you will know Gareth passed away recently and will be truly missed by everyone who passed within his sphere of influence, a true force of nature, an amazing, funny, mischievous, grumpy ( I worked with G for years, and without a morning coffee in him beware ) wonderful bloke.

Im putting this together in an effort to raise the monies to have a bench erected with a plaque for Gareth The Baker and a tree to shade the bench at Cosmeston Lakes and Medieval Village where many of you will have met him, feeding the kids Welsh cakes and telling tall tales, it was nothing to see Gareth working away in the Bakers cottage at events in the village with all the reenactors children waiting for a hot Welsh cake.

He will be sorely missed, its hard to even type this right now and not cry, I still can't believe the mischievous pixie is gone, off on another adventure with a bottle of something interesting from his still.

Also, Gareth and Sally were totally self employed, Sally also has some medical treatment to go through soon that will seriously affect her ability to keep a steady income coming in, any excess monies will go to Sally for her to do with as she wishes.

Really going to miss you mate x
