The club is sad to announce the passing of Joe Cox on the eve of his 81st birthday on 26th March 2024.
Joe was a popular Irishman and represented the club in cross country in the Birmingham and District league events together with representing the club in both Warwickshire and Midlands championships.
In the summer he took part in various road relay events together with various events in the track and field leagues that the club was attached to.
A talented runner, it was always a pleasure to run with him for he was always telling jokes and funny stories. He always had a cheeky glint in his eye, a devilish good habit of spurring and encouraging you on and a real asset to the club.
As a result of taking his wife (Les, also a club member) away they moved to a delightful part of the world in Dorset where they spent many happy days together in the town of Dorchester.
In a fitting tribute to RSCAC, a picture of Joe competing in the road relay championship was put by the side of his coffin at the service and his club vest was put in his coffin. There was a good number of fellow club members in attendance at the church service.
RIP Joe
