It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Graham Wenham of the Edinburgh Group, but who became well known for his work for the wider Club membership on the SRGC Displays at Gardening Scotland and the Seed Exchange Distribution.
We send our sincere condolences to Mrs Wenham and their family.

Graham Wenham with the Gold Medal Card at Gardening Scotland 2013 - read the full story
here in the forum.
From Stan da Prato, who worked closely with Graham on the displays and who had considerable admiration for Graham's courage in the face of his illness:
"Graham passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on 25th March. Graham was a stalwart of the Edinburgh & Lothians group of the SRGC. An engineer by profession he organised the design and building of the club stand at Gardening Scotland in the last two years. He also worked on the joint stand with Kevock in 2011. He had known for some years that his kidneys were not functioning properly but decided not to have dialysis. He felt it would interfere with his many activities. He proceeded to confound medical opinion but recently his health deteriorated and he told us in his calm way that he would not be available to build the 2014 stand. The family have found it helpful to know the high regard club members had for Graham - even people who had never met him were aware of his contribution to the club."
We will post details of Graham's funeral when these are announced.
