Ken Hall
Sadly Ken Hall died on Tuesday 11th October in Aboyne Hospital after being ill for some time.
Ken’s contribution to orienteering in Scotland and to Maroc in particular, over many years was immense. In particular six years as Maroc President, the time he was Coordinator of The Scottish Days on Deeside in 1993, and his long term contribution to mapping, stand out.
All our thoughts and sympathies go to Philip and Julie and their families.
There will be a private funeral for family members only.
