He devoted a great deal of his spare time to supporting Surrey & SW London branch. He was also a voluntary member of the Radio Marsden team, which plays patients’ requests at both the Royal Marsden Hospitals. Phil joined our branch in 1999 and by 2001 had been elected onto the committee. The first record I can find of what he did for us was looking after the public address system at our Garden Show at the Field Studies Centre at Juniper Hall in 2000. By 2002, as Events Organiser, Phil had taken over from me and others the work of arranging our attendance at Juniper Hall plus other outdoor shows ranging from small village affairs to Kew Gardens. He was also one of the field trip leaders, who showed, particularly new members, where butterflies were to be found.
