WOKINGHAM WATERSIDE CENTRE - Key Persons
John Cooper - Founder of Wokingham Waterside Centre LTD - was awarded The Reading Evening Post award for Service to Sport and the Community (Individual) in 2001. The award was presented by Cllr Tony Barber, the mayor of Wokingham. "This is a great achievement for John and justifies the perseverance and bloody minded tenacity of someone who had the dream of the Centre so many years ago."
Very sadly, John died on September 11th 2013 after a short battle with cancer. His smiling face, ethos, values, unwavering support and limitless energy is truly missed.
