Story
Ian was the life and soul of Murrayfield DAFS Cricket club and also helped to set up the Friends of Roseburn Park. He was a friend and work colleague to many more. What better than a park bench overseeing the cricket field as a place to just sit with Ian for a while and remember him?
Thank you so much for your contributions so far... amazed how much we have raised ♡. The total cost of the bench will be £1900 so please be assured going over target will still result in your donation going towards the bench. And if we can can go over this a donation can be made to a suitable charity too. Many thanks to all from the family club and friends x

We are.planning the bench unveiling along with a memorial cricket match/event & dinner in April next year I hope many of you will attend at least some of that event. Thanks everyone As Ian might say jolly well done! We miss him dearly xx Thanks again Iain Martin
