Very sad news:
I am sure everyone in the Wessex group will be saddened to hear of the death of Frank Newbery in October 2022, more so because the news has just reached us in February 2023. It is hard to believe that he was 98 years of age and never lost his enquiring mind and the posing of fiendishly difficult questions.
Frank attended every Wessex show and AGM that he could (Dahlia and Chrysanth meetings permitting !) along with his late sister, Alice, and had many, many show successes. One of his favourite classes was the 3×3 blooms Division 5-13.
He will be very much missed.
