The SBSG is sorry to announce the recent sad passing of Simon Bailey. Simon was a member of the Group for many years and served with distinction on the General Committee from 2007 to 2015, during which time he led the redesign and relaunch of the SBSG website. The ground-breaking format of the website, particularly its record collecting functionality, remains ahead of the field today. Simon was a kind, generous and intelligent man, who was equally at home in front of a computer as he was pottering around his farm at Grindleford. The Committee’s recent decision to commit to upgrading the website will hopefully ensure his legacy lives on into the future. The SBSG wishes to pass on its condolences to Simon’s friends and family.
