We’ve just received some sad news from Mel O’Brien, Secretary of Caerphilly Camera Club.
One of their long standing members, Brian George, passed away on Monday 22nd July. Brian was chairman of the club for over 20 years and one of its founder members over 60 years ago. Unfortunately he wasn’t able to attend the club in recent years to illness but is fondly remembered by the older members.
