<p class="MsoNormal">Good Morning,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is with great sadness that I have to share some very sad news to you all this morning.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On Saturday morning we lost our beloved President Neville Carter. Neville joined Pelicans in 1954 and during his time as a member he has been a captain, a umpire, a committee member, our Chairman, a Norfolk league manager, East Committee
member a Norfolk umpire and our President for the last 15 years. Our thoughts are with his family at this time.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Neville was a lovely person with a kind heart who loved our club and even though his health prevented him from visiting as often as he would have liked he always wanted to know what was going on with the club on and off the pitch. With
the passing of Neville we have lost someone that we will never see the like of again, a true legend. He will be greatly missed.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The following is from the Centenary booklet that explains what being apart of Pelicans meant to him. Please take the time to read it.

<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:.5pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Neville Carter is the ultimate Mr Pelican, a title he inherited from Derek Neville many years ago, and all would agree with that title, Over the years he accepted that mantle with
both panache and pride.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">Many of us have memories of Neville as a player, captain, umpire, Chairman, and President of the club and was a friend to all. For many years when the club was based at North Runcton the Carter family home of
Gingerbread House was a second clubhouse, always open and welcoming long after the bar had closed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.5pt">Below are Neville’s words from our Centenary Booklet explaining what the club meant to him.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5pt;text-indent:35.5pt">It has been an honour for me to be President of this 100 year old club for many years<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">When I joined, the club had two teams: it now has eight teams and more than 60 junior members. We have always been respected, and sometimes feared, by the other clubs. One of the reasons for the big success of
the club has been the professional knowledge and time given generously by club members who are also business people, solicitors and accountants. The other reason is the inclusivity and wide appeal of our club. On the pitch, once you are wearing the black and
white, it doesn’t matter if you spend your working life ploughing fields, pulling teeth, selling stocks and shares or treating patients. being a Pelican is a great leveller.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">It has always been a great family club and I am proud that so many of my family have followed me in playing for Pelicans. Some of us were aghast at the thought of leaving North Runcton, but we must respect the
Borough Council for providing facilities, now the best in the county, at Lynnsport which has become our new home.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">One thing has always struck me as very special about the club: it becomes part of you. Through the pages of this centenary booklet, you will hear from Pelicans past and present – except there is no such thing
as a ‘past’ Pelican. Once you join the family, you are a Pelican through and through.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5pt;text-indent:35.5pt">May the future hold as much pleasure for all the members as it has for me and countless other Pelicans.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5pt;text-indent:35.5pt">“It is great to see Pelicans Hockey Club in such good heart after 100 years.
