27th November 2025
Today, we said goodbye to Howard Machin, who sadly passed away on 12th November 2025 at the age of 71. Howard served on our Board for 17 years, from 1992 to 2009, and was the Chairman of the Society from 2002 to 2009. As Chair, Howard led the Society through many significant moments, most notably our centenary celebrations in 2007, which included a BBQ for members, an open day at the Society and the planting of a pin oak tree by the pond in Chalfont St Giles.
Even after retiring from the Board, Howard continued to be a member and remained a dedicated and familiar face at our branch, regularly attending AGMs and continuing to support our community. His warmth, commitment, and presence will be greatly missed by everyone at the Bucks. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his wife, Irene, and his family. Rest peacefully, Howard.
