It is with great sadness that we have learned of the death, earlier today, of one of our oldest and staunchest members, Ron Adams.
Ron was also an early member of IPMS (UK) his membership number being 167. But above all he was greatly liked and respected gentleman and we are the poorer for his passing. He had recently been diagnosed with a brain tumour but non-the-less showed great spirit and determination to carry on with his life and live it to the full.
Our condolences go to Ron's wife Doreen and their family.

A branch of IPMS(UK) we are a club for modellers and those interested in modelling in Birmingham and surrounding areas, we welcome people of all abilities to attend our meetings on the third Sunday of each month - please see "About IPMS Birmingham" page for venue details and times.
I got to know Ron and Doreen really well over the past few years: I would pick him up to be greeted by 'hello old son, how are you doing'. in the 30 minutes it took coming or going we would put the world to rights. I will miss Ron terribly. he was one of the very nicest people I have known, and Doreen IS. very very sad.
