RMweb Gold john new Posted September 23, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 23, 2012 With deep regret we have to announce that one of the long standing members of our organising committee (Joe Wills) has passed away following a very short illness. The Advance Ticket service was in Joe's remit therefore for the short-term the advance ticket booking service for 2013 is suspended pending transfer to a new officer.

BigMal Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 A great shock to hear the news, which I have only just picked up after a weekend away. Joe was a real gent who will be sadly missed. My condolences to all Joe's family. In reply to PLD, I believe the only "original" now left from 50 years ago is Dick Dring (steward rostering officer).

Cheers, Mick I'm in total agreement with you there Mick about the list of layouts plus in the past I have found the York show an all round great show to exhibit a layout.
