Dear All,
it is with great sadness that I report the sudden death of our dear friend Linda Mortimer, the wife of Stuart Mortimer. Her funeral, primarily for the family, will be held in the Howe Trinity Parish Church, Alford, Aberdeenshire at 13.30 on Tuesday 27 March.
There will also be a memorial service which will be held in St. Mary’s Church, Amport, Hampshire at 11.00 on Tuesday 24 April 2018.
Linda and Stuart opened their home to turners from all over the world but also to the young turners that took part in the AWGB Youth Training scheme and it was Linda that made sure everyone was well looked after during these events. Her passing will be mourned by many turners the world over as she touched the lives of so many of us.
