Obituaries

From the Recorder Group: “We are sad to report the recent death of Raphael Mankin. Raphael was a valued member of the recorder group, being involved in the organisation of its wide range of music to which he enabled access via a website. He also arranged music for the group. He is very much missed.”

Ann Mir’s son came into the Office to tell us that his mother died on 19th May. Ann had been a member for some years. There will be a celebration of her life on 4th July.
