‘Jon the Bus’ - Jonathon Clark; Left us unexpectedly on 25th May 2026. Jon was a member of Bude Surf Life Saving Club & worked as a Bus Driver for Go Cornwall Bus covering local bus routes and school runs. He was a regular on our beaches & a friendly face at the club, always helping out where he could & a very keen waterman in the sea / canal / lakes!

On Saturday 5th September club members gathered alongside Jon’s family & friends for a paddle out at Summerleaze to pay their respects and remember the wonderful ‘Jon the Bus’. He is deeply missed by club members, his kindness, commitment and friendship will always be remembered.
