| 12/11/2007 | It is with great sadness that I inform all members of the recent death of Barry Weston. Barry died on November 7th after a short illness, his wife Annette was at his bedside. Barry and Annette met at FOSSC over thirty years ago. Both were very active members in all aspects of the club and for some time Barry was treasurer. They have one married son Alistair and a grandaughter Hannah. Although they moved away from Gloucestershire to Tiverton and then Sidmouth they always retained their interest in the club and attended the 40th anniversary celebrations last July. Barry and Annette moved back to Gloucestershire three years ago and lived at Cleeve Hill. The funeral will take place at 2.45pm on Friday 16th November at St Paul's Church, Cheltenham. Members of the club who knew Barry and Annette are encouraged to attend. Lesley Cook
