Tony Drew Nottingham MRS

[doctor quinn]

It is with great sadness that I must announce that former Chairman Tony Drew passed away on Saturday 3rd August. Tony was an accomplished EM gauge modeller with a passion for the Great Western in the Gower Penisular which resulted in his layout Rhossili. 

 

Tony was also one of the original team behind Skipley which was begun as part of a desire to achieve higher modelling standards within the club. The success of this move may judged by the fact that the layout was on permanent display at the Midland Railway Centre for many years as well as the success of later club layouts such as Trent Lane Junction

 

Although Tony eventually left the club, his interest in modelling remained and he continued to volunteer as a steward at the annual club show. Tony had a dry sense of humour which we will all miss, our thoughts are with his family at this time.

 

The funeral will be held at Bramcote Crematorium, Coventry Lane, Beeston, Bramcote NG9 3GJ, on Thursday 15th August at 13.30.
