Popular Post David Bigcheeseplant Posted January 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2020 Ant (Anthony Mead) passed away on the 13th of Feb he played a huge part of the Risborough & District Model Railway Club having been Exhibition Manager of Railex before I took over and basicity being my right hand man for Railex too. He was Treasurer for DEMU for a few years too. He was only 46. Ant had suffered from Cystic Fibrosis and even through he only made it along to the last few Railex shows for a few hours normally with a back pack of oxygen. the amount of time he put in behind the scenes was amazing, He would check my floor plans and say that a layout or trade stand was 2mm longer than started on the booking form, plus he put together the programme and adverts and posters.

Evertonian Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I can only re-iterate what others have said, I had several e-mail conversations with Ant when he was organising publicity for Railex exhibitions - a nicer guy you couldn't find to deal with. A very sad loss, condolences to his family and all at the club. Chris Knight SCRMD Group Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted January 24, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 24, 2020 Sad news - I didn't know Ant well, but he was always friendly when I occasionally bumped into him at exhibitions. He contributed a lot to DEMU particularly as one of its first treasurers. Cheers Mike 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
