The event raised £1,500. Thanks go to Richard Brown for his organisation.  

Tony Berry

It is with deep sadness that the club learned of the loss of Tony Berry, partner and soulmate of incoming president Kate Gibb. Tony passed away suddenly while working in France. The thoughts of all her fellow members and their families are with Kate and her family at this most difficult time.
