The Late Rodney Lucas President of Virginia Water Art Society

It is with great sadness that we say good by to our President Rodney Lucas who passed away on 10th September 2014.  The funeral was held at the Henley on Thames Woodland Burial Grounds photographed below, sheep graze the fields and red Kites are abundant and in a few years from now the natural landscape will be covered in a forest. On the day the sun was shining and the landscape was peaceful, 7 members of the Society went to pay our respects and the funeral was well attended. Refreshments were served in the Maltsters Arms afterwards.   Rodney was such an integral part of the Society and much loved and appreciated for all the wonderful work he did for the Society over so many years.  He was almost a founder member in the 1960's and held the longest membership.  Last year we reversed an earlier decision not to have any more honorary members and mad him an honorary member to express our gratitude.
