A number of Billygoats attended a memorial service for Ken Drake in Cambridge last month. We heard from his family and friends of his long life of service to the scouts and the Wesleyan church and also to Cantabrigian Rowing Club (of which he wrote a history). Of course, Billygoats will be aware of his support for FHBC as successful rower and officer in the 50s, for FCBC pushing out bumps crews from the 90s until several years ago and his archiving work which appears on the Billygoats website.
There was a table of memorabilia of Ken’s life to which was added the flag he and his wife Viv donated to the Boat Club on his retirement from pushing out. Ken wrote his own life story which appears on the Ken Drake Archive page of the website under “something about the author”.
