Penny Messenger

It is with great sadness that I must inform members of the death of Penny Messenger on Saturday 17 January, following a short illness.

Everyone will know that Penny was one of the most consistent, helpful and good- humoured members of the Society. She regularly organised and led events with her friend Margaret Trueman and also helped out at many events on behalf of the Society.

She retired from Council at last year’s AGM after 30 years’ continuous service. Penny was also one of the organisers of the bookstall at our Saturday afternoon lectures and a regular supporter of our programme. We will very much miss Penny’s good humour and willingness to help the Society and send sincere condolences to her friends and family.

A full obituary will be published in due course.
