Members and friends of the Trust will be saddened to learn of the premature death of Trustee Mick Halcrow, known to many as an integral part of the "front of house" team at The Carriage Works Museum.
Mick had been receiving treatment in Airedale Hospital and Bradford Royal infirmary, and latterly palliative care at Manorlands. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the several conditions from which he was suffering on 11th September.
Mick’s first duty at Ingrow was in July 2009 and his enthusiasm and commitment to VCT soon had him elected to the VCT Committee at its AGM on 16thOctober, 2010. As well as often being found behind the counter at VCT, Mick undertook a wide range of "behind the scenes" tasks. He was responsible for Publicity and Marketing, and was the Trust's Retail manager. He represented VCT at the Rail Story and Bronte Country Partnerships, and attended meetings with AIM, Welcome to Yorkshire and Museums Development amongst others. He also contributed to re-accreditation of the Museum, insurance matters and was the author of the current Emergency Plan.
He will be sadly missed by his colleagues at the Trust for his dedication, and his willingness to be available on behalf of the Trust in any capacity.
His funeral will take place at 2:30 pm, on Friday, 29th September at Oakworth Crematorium.
Please accept this as an invitation to attend the funeral/wake. If you are able to attend, please send an email to admin@vintagecarriagestrust.org or phone Ian Smith on 07976 569178 so that we can arrange catering.
