VALE Pip Smibert

Members were saddened to learn of the passing of Pip Smibert on 15th August.   Pip was suffering from a rare form of cancer which ultimately impacted on his heart.

Pip and I were class mates at Prep school 60 years ago. Coincidentally, our fathers met in the same class room.

Pip had a degree in engineering and was in the process of developing an early warning system for natural disasters on the internet.   In his spare time, he was very active in amateur live theatre and often played the lead role. unfortunately his illness prevented him from playing a more active role in our club.   Our thoughts are with his wife Kate and his family at this very sad time.
