We are saddened to learn of the passing of Stewart Newton. He was a member of the original team who were involved in the formation of the SD hall trust. If you've visited our hall You will have noticed the drawings on the lounge wall acknowledging his commitment to age concern. He owned newton's coaches and was a well-known leader. He was a part of the trust that was set up for the SD hall. He was one of the age concern delegates for a long time

Our thoughts go to his family and loved ones at this difficult time and we thank him for all his services
