Another long standing member Roger Choley died peacefully on 21st February, aged 85. Roger joined the CC in 1953. He was a BMC Patron and former chairman of the National Trust.
Between 1985 and 1987 Chorley chaired the Committee on Handling of Geographic Information, known as the Chorley Committee. This made recommendations on the conversion of Ordnance Survey maps from paper to computer form, making more Government data available, Grid referencing and Postcode referencing of data, measures to promote the use of computerised Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and investment required in training and research and development.
A private cremation will be held. Family flowers only. A Memorial Service will be held at St. George’s Church, Campden Hill, London, at a date to be announced.
Our sympathy is with his family and fiends.
