I expect you already have this in hand but some further good news for HMSOldies is the fact that Bob Barnard celebrated his 90th birthday on 30th May 2023, with events in Cambridge and Norwich. Bob and Valerie were both in good form and entertained groups of bridge players, walkers, and former colleagues, plus family. It was good to see Gordon and Jen Robbie, Lynda and Jim Marshall, Alan Pawsey, Jill Ward, Ann Battley and Di Ward.
All the best, Chris.
Thank you for your note. Yes, I noticed that Bob Barnard made it to 90 at the end of May, and sent him a short note. No doubt he is still partying!

Best wishes, Reg.
