Members of a club in Warwick have paid tribute to their secretary who "contributed tirelessly" to the organisation.

James Bazin, club secretary at the Warwick Probus Club No 2, died earlier this month.

Probus is an organisation of clubs where retired and semi-retired businessmen can meet up on a monthly basis for socialising and to listen to a guest speaker.

A spokesperson from Warwick Probus Club No 2 said: “We are saddened to announce the death of club secretary James Bazin who died following a stroke.

"A former club chairman and current speakers secretary, James was a significant member of the club contributing tirelessly to its welfare.

"He was always very welcoming and friendly, a kind man who always gave freely of his time to others, a nice man, a gentleman but above all quite simply James was just James.

"His passing will be an enormous loss to the club, he will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by all.”
