Michael Frederick Hinks Mike Hinks was my friend for almost 35 years. I have known him as the husband of my very good friend Wyn and as a colleague and Councillor at NODA West Midlands.
Mike was a gentleman or rather a gentle man. A career in Local Government and a distinguished hobby with several operatic societies (Chesterfield Operatic Society, Derby Opera Company, Long Eaton Operatic Society, Ripley & Alfreton) and with NODA, reaching its highest office as President of the Association.
My personal memories include eating sherry trifle at 1am after a trip to London to see a show, visiting Hardwick Hall when my husband Ron and I were National Trust members and Mike and Wyn were not but I had forgotten my card and I had to pay, working on the Pro-Am Production of La Cage Aux Folles, the list goes on and on. Happy times, sad times, good times and bad times Mike never changed. Steadfast, loyal, ready to listen, to give advice and, above all, to be a true friend.
Remember Mike and if you were fortunate enough to call him a friend be glad BUT shed no tears for Mike. He will be selecting a show, managing the budget, assembling the cast of Angels for their production and be front of house awaiting the arrival of his friends.
