This is Bernard Newnham. Our desire to spread his life motto - "be nice to people" has take on a bit of a life of its own. See www.TeamBeNiceToPeople.org for more details. And, thank you so much for your donations.

Bernard Newnham was a husband to Pauline, a father to Charley, Ben and Robin, a brother to Stephen, Michael and Caroline, and a friend or colleague or teacher to many others. Outside of family life, he was a BBC television producer, a beekeeper, a light aircraft pilot, a lecturer, and founder of Tech-Ops.co.uk. He was the builder of a cobra car ("just for fun"), organiser of (BBC) Disorganised Lunches, and enjoyed his U3A endeavours.

The photo above was taken almost exactly a year before he died aged 76, in August 2023. In the weeks and months after this photo, his body was overtaken by a series of things. So...

Team Bernard Newnham is spreading Bernard's motto - "be nice to people" - and raising money for charity. Including this one.

Our team includes active fundraisers though social events - including, so far, Charley Newnham, Faye Oxley, Rich Newnham, Cathy Allen and Helen Morris - and those of you kind enough to donate in Bernie’s name.

If you want to help - and we would LOVE your help -you can do one of two things:

(1) Donate to either of our fundraising pages below. No amount is too small; every pound helps and is joyfully received with our thanks.

(2) Join Team Bernard Newnham/Team Be Nice to People. If you're thinking of doing something, let us know. You can use our pages to fundraise, or you can do your own thing with your own page for any charity you like and still join Team Newnham. (Dad wouldn't really mind which charity it is - he particularly liked Air Ambulances, MSF and the local hospice, so choose away.)

With thanks in advance, Team Bernard Newnham
