MAY I, on behalf of the Prestwich Co-op Camera Club, send our best wishes for a pleasant retirement to former Guide photographer Dave Butterworth (Guide, July 16).

He is well-known to our older members and was the photographer who attended on several occasions to record our annual exhibitions. On one occasion he accepted our invitation to open it and distribute the awards. In his own quiet way, he could always be relied upon.
