This Midweeker will be held in loving memory of the ever resplendent Rhys Summergreene. Rhys Summergreene sadly lost his battle with Stage 4 Cancer in January, Menslink wanted to take the the opportunity to honour and remember him and his contribution to our organisation on the date he was supposed to deliver his own Midweeker.
