1. It is sad to report the passing of Rona Satterley, who after a long period of illness in a nursing home died on 6th January. Rona was one of the founder members of the club, which she with her husband Ian, has supported over many years. She was looking after our kitchen as well as helping with the video display and other tasks. She will be sadly missed and our condolences go to Ian and his family. Both Rona and Ian have given tremendous support to the club.

2. There are a few photos and notes from Mark Boswell-Brook’s demo from last Saturday here.
