BVWS founder members
I joined the BVWS just after it was formed way back, although no longer a member.

Jonathan Hill, living in Devon and running a specialist shop. John Gillies, still very much with us and retired living in the north of England. These were the noted founder members at the time of the inauguration of the Society on 25th April 1976. Mike...
