Added 17th October – it is with great sorrow, we report the passing of a former President of the IACR, Jean Jeffery. Jean was one of most pleasant, gracious, people you could meet. A real enthusiast of our art, who was always encouraging of learners and old-hands alike in progressing to another level. She visited every corner of this island many times over, over the years and had friends in every one. She will be sadly missed by all.

To her Family as well as her colleagues in St. Donard’s we extend our deepest condolences. Will update this with funeral details when available.
