George Clark

George's wife Olga was regularly used to present the prizes for the HBSA and kids events. For some years he had a companion dog called 'Smudge'. George loved fishing and was often down river aboard his boat 'Enterprise' or boating with his friend Paul Quilter.

 (above) a picture I took of George in the late 1970's with his typical friendly smile.
