The Red Arrows
We would like to pay tribute to Flt Lt Jon Egging, the Red Arrows pilot, who was tragically killed on Saturday 20th August 2011 after an amazing air display with the Red Arrows team after the 4th Bournemouth Air Festival. Cllr Anne was at the Festival for the 4 days helping on a stall with the Bournemouth Veterans and Friends Association and when the news filtered through to the show there was complete shock.
What a brave and courageous man Jon Egging was to make sure the plane didn’t crash into houses in the Throop village area. The one minutes' silence on Sunday 21st August at 1pm along the seafront was very emotional. Thousands of people, both residents and visitors, stood together in silence to remember this brave pilot. Many people were wearing red to honour him and the Red Arrows.
Both Ron and Anne on behalf of the Throop and Muscliff Ward send our sincere sympathy to Dr Emma Egging and to the family at this very sad time.
When the time is right the residents of Throop village wish to fund a memorial in memory of Flt Lt Jon Egging in the village area, and Ron and Anne will support this proposal, as it is a most fitting tribute to this hero.

Election News - Wednesday 11th May 2011
Joint Statement from Councillor Anne Rey and Councillor Ron Whittaker to the residents of Throop and Muscliff Ward
Just 3 days after the local elections Cllr Derek Borthwick who stood in Throop and Muscliff as an Independent with Ron Whittaker and Anne Rey and won his seat for a second term of office crossed the floor to the Tories! This is the first time in Bournemouth that someone has switched parties in less than a week after being elected.
Apparently Mr Borthwick has been promised a chairmanship and possibly the Mayoralty in the next few years!
Ron and Anne are devastated and angry about Mr Borthwick’s actions as he has deceived them and the residents of Throop and Muscliff who voted him in as an Independent and not a Tory. We as Independents stood on the Martin Bell’s principles which include Integrity and Honesty. Clearly Mr Borthwick does not have either of these principles.
Ron and Anne will continue to serve the residents of Throop and Muscliff to the best of their ability and put people before politics.
