In an e-mail from Pete Convey:
--------

Dear all

I am sorry to be passing this on by e-mail, but I have just 
learnt the extremely sad news that Ian Thompson died yesterday.

Our sympathies are with his wife, Anne, and those close to him. 
In due course I will pass on details of funeral arrangements, 
and have been asked to say that this will be a small and family 
event.

As we all know, Ian has been central to the Cambridge rowing 
community, and I cannot even start to express my feelings at 
this loss. Please can I ask those responsible for clubs and 
other bodies to pass on this sad news to their members.

Pete
