In memoriam - John Bax

We were very sad to learn of the death of John, on Saturday 25th April.  He was a fabulous club member and did his very best to support the club whenever he could.  He will be sadly missed by all, but especially by his long term partners.  Our condolences go to Barbara and the family.
