Phil's Paints Last journey this coming Monday 12th October 2020.
His son Greg Paint has asked me to organise a Convoy of bikes preferably Kawasaki Triples or what ever you have?
It was Phil's wish to follow the Hearse on his last journey!
Rain or Shine if your up for it details as follows in the words of his Son........ Hi Del, it's Greg paint, thank you for organising this mate, my dad would have loved it.
The funeral coordinators have told me if you can meet them at the funeral directors at 1pm on 12th, and follow them down to the the Kent and Sussex Crematorium.
They will be leaving between 1-1:15. From the directors at
10 High Street Pembury
Tunbridge Wells Kent TN2 4NY.
I have also been told if we wish to stop outside and listen to the service there are designated bays where we can stand if we wanted too.
I trust some of you hardened Triplers with banish whatever the weather brings and give Phil the send off our friend deserves!

There is a large Tesco just off of the high st in Pembury with a huge car park, if you are bringing bikes in a van this would leave you with a 3 mile ride to the Crem ,the Tesco is not a massively busy one and you are allowed a two hr parking window , just a thought ,could contact the manager if interested JH
