It was with great sadness that the Society received the news of the passing of Sir Patrick Moore.
Many members have met Patrick over the years, and he was a truly inspirational figure in the world of amateur astronomy.
For one member, John Fletcher, it is particularly sad occasion. John had become great friends with Patrick over the years, and was a regular visitor to ‘Farthings’, and became one of his personal carers in Patrick’s later years.
Patrick Moore was a larger than life character, and will be sorely missed.
