Memories of Elaine
It is with great sorrow we have to announce the passing of Elaine Welch, a friend to all and a big part of 9 Usual Suspects adventures. Elaine & Richard attended their first 9US event way back in 2017 and quickly became involved with 9US escapades. One of the first to volunteer, becoming very proficient at putting up the tents, lights and props. Always mucking in wether making tea or washing up, she had a knack of spotting what was needed and getting it sorted without any fuss. Elaine hated litter and joined us on many of our CITO litter picks, deriving much satisfaction from leaving a rubbish free environment.
Her parents were Welsh and being a ‘Jones’ North Wales had a very special place in her heart. All her life she had holidayed in Wales. After retiring Richard and her had a caravan on seasonal pitches near Criccieth where they spent as much time as they possibly could.
We know she will be missed by all who knew her. Our thoughts at this difficult time are with Richard, their family & friends.
