COUZENS FAMILY SAY THANK YOU
FOR YOUR GENEROSITY

Donations heading for £2000 mark

The family of Carl Couzens have expressed their sincere thanks to all those who have sent donations in his memory to help vital research into asthma, the condition that he fought so valiantly before his sudden and tragic death.

Spartan South Midlands referees have long been known for their generosity and I am delighted to tell you that the total of the donations sent so far has now reached over £1800 with promises of more on the way. Apart from contributions from Association members, many of Carl’s work colleagues, badminton players/umpires and fellow golfers have dug deep into their pockets in the hope of helping advance research in this most important medical field.

Carl’s father, Ian says he would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers at this difficult time, support which he says has helped the family through some very dark days.

Describing the remarkable turnout at his son’s funeral, Ian Couzens says:

“Carl was a fine man and it’s blatantly obvious that a large number of others thought the same. We were very proud to have brought up such a well liked and respected person.” 

The fund has not yet closed, so if there is anyone who would still like to contribute to this very noble cause, please send your cheque payable to

Imperial College Trust to:

The Association’s Management Committee will be meeting in the next few days to decide how best we can perpetuate Carl’s memory. Already, we have received one or two ideas from members. Meantime, please see elsewhere on this site for details of a special annual golf day.
