Over the last 12 months there have been a number of pleas for something to be done about the memory of our beloved Godfrey Tanner. These have been in the form of a special commemoration dinner, a special scholarship campaign as well as a publication of some kind. The latest request came from Chris Craig, and I attach his wonderful document regarding the formation of the Tanner Society in the ‘About’ link above.
We would love to get together with a few interested people to map out a strategy to do something in 2009, which fulfills the various expectations.
