Peter Read passed away peacefully at the Conquest Hospital on 21st February 2015 aged 82 years.

Neale East, from the Society, said: “He was a leading fund raiser for the Society. He never missed an occasion to stand outside Adams the Printers collecting money for our programmes on Bonfire Night or to rattle a fund raising bucket on our behalf at every opportunity whatever the weather. In fact, anything to help, you never had to ask, he just turned up to lend a hand.”
