I'm sorry to have to announce that David Bick died yesterday morning (19th
January).
David was a pioneer of mining history in England Wales, founder and the
leading personality in the Welsh Mines Society and instrumental in the
formation of the Welsh Mines Preservation Trust. He will certainly be
missed by all those involved in the study of mining and industrial history
in Wales and the south-west of England.
The funeral will be a family affair but friends and his mining history
colleagues are invited to a Memorial on Tues 31st Jan, at 12.30 am, at
Hatherley Manor, just outside Gloucester
