Another happy memory of Ian – as past Club President, Ian is conducting the Mayor of Macclesfield, Norman Edwards, round our Annual Exhibition at the library on the 3rd of April 2006. Ian had been President for 6 years or so by this time and previously in Committee roles. He will be sadly missed by many of our present and former members. He contributed so much to the Club with his experience and presentations to us. With his career as a respected astronomy lecturer and tutor at the University of Manchester, and in particular with his important role at the Jodrell Bank telescope, he was able to inform and enthuse many of us into this fascinating world of the stars and the universe, and how it could be recorded in photographs. He was always interesting to discuss matters with, and he had a very easy pleasant and gentle manner with all he met.
