[QUOTE="Mrichardson, post: 4102072, member: 68298"] I have received some very sad news today Robert Irving passed away yesterday after a long hard fight against cancer! He was one of the magnificent five! I admired this man for the courage he showed by standing up at the meeting and pointing out things that weren't right in the society. Every body knew he was right but Nobody else dare say it! And all he got was abuse! I got to know him well and he was a self made man, milking cows for years like he did was a credit to him. He had a tremendous heard of Holsteins. Anybody who milks 300 cows 3 times a day with an heard average of 11000 litres deserves a knight hood! In the schedule for the national he offered £100 to any new ploughman who ploughed at the national for the 1st time in the high cut class. He did this for years! I don't no how many received this money, but I bet he was never thanked for this donation Rest in peace Robert your fighting spirit will be carried on by the army of people who thought you were a great man with lots of courage and strength to see that everything was done correct and straight!
