Eric Nash, who was a great supporter of athletics at Parliament Hill Fields, sadly passed away on 16 June.  He held numerous athletics posts including President of the English Cross Country Union and of the South of England Athletics Association. I remember him ferrying some 'Great' international athletes about for the AAA's. A kind and gentle man with a real love for the sport he was also well known in the City in the 'Insurance World' and was a Freeman of the City of London, and he had several livery duties to perform. He was the Club Secretary for Cambridge Harriers for over 30 years and was often seen at Parliament Hill with his friends who did official work with the club. Eric was one of those who do things rather than just talk about the sport. He will be greatly missed.
