Dear SLC,
So very sorry to hear this sad news, I know Jim was a brilliant asset to the club for many years. I was very proud to have got to know him, all too briefly, during the club's Heritage Open Days weekends over the past few years of which he was a great advocate. I very much enjoyed his lively sense of humour and willingness to educate myself and other Smiths fans and volunteers about the great history of the club and its camping trips.
