• IT was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Robert “Robbie” Hatch.

Robbie and his dearly loved partner Jean worked tirelessly to arrange really enjoyable trips and weekend breaks for all members of the Hampstead Antiquarian Society.

Christmas dinners in different parts of the countryside were such happy and memorable occasions and took considerable effort to research and arrange by Jean and Robert. We have much to be grateful for to them both after their hard work.

Now we send much affection and sympathy to Jean. Robbie was a kind and helpful friend to so many of us. We will miss him.
