Cancellation of Talks due to Covid-19 Outbreak
We were sorry hear of the death in the new year of 2018 of our former Meteorological Section Secretary Philip Eden at the age of 66. He had retired from the post last year as he had been suffering from Lewy Body Dementia. A distinguished weather broadcaster, journalist and author. Our condolences go to his brothers.>
