Gill Hanson died of motor neurone disease on Sep 3. We offer our condolences to husband David, holder of various BC posts since the 1970s, notably Surrey Skipper editor 1997-2004 and National Treasurer 1998-2018. Gill was a familiar face at national and local meetings dating back to the London Branch era (<1995), and walked WCBS squares at Compton and Peaslake.
