Ian Campbell RIP

29 March, 2026 / / No comments

On Friday last, a number of Monkstone Members gathered to pay their final respects and say goodbye to Ian Campbell at Thornhill Crematorium. Ian was a well respected member of the club having joined in 2022.

Ian was an ex-police sergeant and many of his former colleagues were present including the South Wales Police standard bearer.

Ian died suddenly and unexpectedly on 25 February 2026 and will be missed by all club members but especially the members of the Monarchs League team who he joined a couple of years ago from the Marauders.

Our thoughts are with Moya, his wife, and the rest of his family including children and grandchildren. 

RIP Ian – at rest.

Tony Newton RIP

25 February, 2026 / / No comments

A group of Monkstone Members today paid their final respects and said goodbye to Tony Newton at Thornhill Crematorium. Tony was a well loved member of the club from 2018 to 2023 always cheerful with a positive attitude – and could he point!

Sadly, he succumbed to the dreaded Alzheimer’s along with other health issues which forced him to resign from the club at the end of 2023. The memory problems were, however, the cause of some lighter moments especially when, during a 3 Round melee, he would disappear after Round 2, only to be found in the bar with a pint because he thought he had finished. And if you notice the big green Exit buttons on the wall of the main clubhouse lobby, then think of Tony. They were installed as, on numerous occasions, he pressed the fire alarm button instead of the (not so obvious) magnetic door releases.

RIP Tony – we all miss you.
