Dave Soutar
Sad news that our former Chair, Dave Soutar, has passed away.
Dave stepped down as Chair at the last AGM due to his health, and he had been seriously ill for some time. Dave was deeply involved in our hobby, having worked in it, collected, and played for many years.
Our thoughts and condolences are with Kathleen and the family.
