We are so sorry to hear this very sad news about Chris,RATWOOD.
I first met Chris and Sue at Chas's bash where he was turning his flowers and miniatures for most the day.
It was no trouble for him to take the time and show us what he was doing and how he done it.
Chris and Sue then came to the two bashes i had here and he would be first here in his van,full of enthusiasm and couldn't wait to get set up and started.I'll always remember the toy rat he had by his lathe,and his cheery nature.
You'll be missed Chris.

My thoughts are with Sue and family at this very sad time.

I only had the priveledge of meeting Chris on one occassion at a Bash, where he taught me how to turn his flowers. A warm approachable character full of enthusiasm.

Very sad news indeed.
