Announcement - Robert Halford
04/09/06
It is with sadness that the club must announce the passing of one of our long standing members,Robert Halford,of Ilkeston after a period of illness.Over the years Robert has served the club in many capacities,both on the committee and at our meetings,in particular on our slide presentation evenings where he served as our trusty projectionist,a role he carried out with diligence and great humour.
I came to know Robert very well over the years and went on several photographic outings with him,Twycross Zoo and the annual Focus on Imaging exhibition at the Birmingham NEC immediately spring to mind.His help with my photography I cannot value highly enough and feel privileged to have known him as a friend.
I am sure I speak for all the club in saying that Robert will be missed greatly by everyone at the club,and our thoughts and prayers are with his family Sandra,Andrew and Sarah.
