I am sure at 12.30  we will have time to remember Paul for the work he did during his time at the helm of Model Boats  and the passion he had for the hobby. We all wish Rose a speedy recovery and lets hope when the time is right we can have some sort of  gathering to remember Paul.

Just received my March 2021 subscription copy of MB, (Well done the posties given the current situation and the weather), and in it was a rather nice 2 page 'In memorial' tribute penned by Colin.

My copy of Model Boats arrived today. Colin's piece on Paul is very enjoyable (not quite the right phrase, but you know what I mean) but it's the comment by Lindsey in the editorial that impressed me.

"on learning that I'd been brought in as editor of Model Boats, he immediately rang to wish me well and let me know I could call on him should I need help and advice"
Handing over the editorial chair isn't always smooth or easy - but for MB's best-known editor to offer the hand of help as soon as he could says a huge amount about Paul. That one action marks him out as someone who cared about other people, and cared about our hobby. I know it will have meant a huge amount. RIP Paul.
