It is with great sadness that we have to record the passing of our good friend and colleague Sandy Buchanan. Sandy passed away suddenly and completely unexpectedly a fortnight ago and we attended his very moving funeral service yesterday (26th July). Sandy was not just a founding member of our Association, he was a force for all that was good in our work and our play. He will be sorely missed by all of us, however, his friendship, breadth of interest, sound advice and quest for the latest gadget will remain with us and be treasured in the months and years to come.
