Ewan's funeral (Fri 18 Dec)

**shrub** · 17th December 2009, 13:30

Calling all Christchurch bikers: You have no doubt heard about Ewan Christie's tragic accident on Saturday at the Waiau bridge. Tomorrow (Friday 18th) is his funeral, and Seona wants as many bikes as possible to give Ewan the sendoff he deserves. Even if you don't know him, odds are good you'll meet Seona at some stage and he has a heap of good mates in Aberdeen who can't make it, so you can represent them.

It's also a chance to show that when one of us dies, it affects all of us.

Meet at 195 Clyde road at 2.15, the procession leaves at 2.30 to travel to John Rhind funeral directors, London St (at the end of Bealey Ave). Afterwards we'll head down to Pomeroys on Kilmore St to drink a toast to a good man who will be missed both here and Aberdeen.
