THE (OLD) ROGUES GALLERY

A recent meeting with a few ex-members of the Club made me think that an "old" rogues gallery could be useful. Some of these are current members but others may not have been in the Club for a while and may in fact have passed on to the great white cave in the sky but they should not be forgotten.  The page will grow as and when I can find photos (and the time to post them here).

Tom Fowden was an honorary member for all his work at Alderley Edge as the Wizard and for looking after the museum.  He died in 2000. Todge (Alan Burgess) is still very much with us and is an Honorary Life Member.  He was in at the very start of the DCC. Granville Shillito who was one time secretary and then honorary life member of the Club.  He was known for his fabulous story telling.  He died in 2010.
