29 JANUARY 2021: Bill Huyton R.I.P.
It is with enormous sadness that we reported the death of Bill Huyton, our Chairman Emeritus, aged 73. A stalwart member of our Society for twenty years, Bill soon became part of our Committee and had the notable distinction of being our longest-serving Chairman to date. He is missed by all who knew him.
For more, see the Bill Huyton obituary contributed by ODFHS committee members.

That was pretty much his last "public" act as Chair; he stepped down at the AGM that year.")
