It is with great sadness that I have to report the death of Bill Hall, steamboat Nokomis.

Bill has been a highly significant member of the SBA and the SBAS, always ready to take responsibility within each organisation alongside his own steamboating with 'Nokomis'. He was a significant model engineer getting great delight from his 5" gauge 'GWR 'Manor', all this happening for many years while supporting his late wife Susan at home while she became progressively ill with Alzheimer's. He was an impressive character and our sympathies are extended to his wider family.
