It was with sadness we learned of the passing of Monarchs Fans Trust member Mitch Balsillie just before Christmas. He was a very well-known and popular supporter and will be sadly missed. We thank his family for including the Monarchs Fans Trust in the retiring collection at his funeral on Wednesday. This was\u00a0unexpected and very generous and we\u00a0will make sure that all monies received will be put towards ensuring the sport he loved\u00a0and the club he supported continues for many years to come. Thank you to everyone who contributed.<\/p>\n
It has been a hard few months with\u00a0a number of members of the Monarchs family passing away including former rider Jimmy Tannock, we hope 2016 will be a better year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
