Some very sad news from the Jampot forum. Spriddler (Neville Bolding) passed away on Sunday 2nd March after a short illness.

I never met Spridd but he was another who always helped, especially with my Ajay troubles. An all round lovely and very funny chap.

Thanks Simon. I met him a few times and also delivered his modified bike so he could still ride after his big crash. Top guy and great company. RIP Sprid.

The oldest rocker in town!

He was just here making gnome jokes in January.

Always helpful and interesting, he was. I'm sorry he's gone from us.

Dang it. Bryan and MadMike now spriddler. They rest of you, stay put!!

Sprids certainly told a lot of great tales. I recall being regaled about his internet dating exploits using - his words - "grab-a-granny" sites.

Very sad to hear that. I communicated with him on the message board and by email but never had the privilege of meeting him. Sad, sad news.

Re: Spriddler

When Sprids was on the dating motorhome trips in younger days, he would often snip off a piece of the ladies hair as a trophy.
In his later years, he just went for the dentures or wig.
He seemed to have a lot of fun years though

Spriddler, who I knew for years, didn't own a camper in his younger days, that sounds very much like one of his yarns, he was an expert at drawing the long bow.
He had been married, 4times I think, bit of a charmer. Besides i once tried one of his grab a grannie sites, none of the women had any hair.

He was also an experienced yachtsman. Until his accident he had a good life. RIP

Re: Spriddler

Neville did have a small camper van. It was almost mandatory for the Susssex AJS&M section members to own one.

Sad News indeed - we exchanged many messages after his big crash. RIP Spriddler
