It is with great sadness that I have heard of the death of Bill Webber. Bill was for many years the Divisional Secretary and held many positions within our old District, Burslem.
He also wrote a regular column in the our local newspaper, which promoted Scouting to the people of North Staffordshire.
Bill was of great help to my Group when we restarted the Scout Troop in 1983 and managed to find our old flag at the old Divisional Office.
I believe he retired in the early 1990’s.
Of course, most people who read this will never have heard of Bill. However, it is safe to say that without him Scouting in our area would not have been so successful and so well run, and so I believe it is worth mentioning his passing here.
I offer my condolences to his family. He will be greatly missed.
