29 JANUARY 2021: Bill Huyton R.I.P.
It is with enormous sadness that we report the death of Bill Huyton, our Chairman Emeritus, aged 73. A stalwart member of our Society for twenty years, Bill soon became part of our Committee and had the notable distinction of being our longest-serving Chairman to date. He will be missed by all who knew him.
