Peter Hardy RIP

[JulienW]

Yesterday I received the sad news that Peter Hardy, West Midlands group member and prolific exhibitor, passed away on Saturday after a battle with cancer.

Peter had a number of exhibition layouts, most recently showing at the Oxfordshire members day at Steventon, and was a skilled builder of locomotives, stock and layouts.

He will be much missed by the group, and I'm sure that those who knew Peter will join me in offering sincere condolences to his wife Linda.

Thanks for posting this sad news Julien. I've already responded on NGRM so won't duplicate other than to say this is very sad and unexpected news. I didn't know Peter well but was very familiar with his layouts and regular attendance with them at NG events. A very friendly chap and an accomplished modeller. I had no idea he was ill and this has come as quite a shock. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Could anyone wishing to attend please contact me (julien.webb@btinternet.com) so I can confirm numbers with Peter's widow.

Thank you.
