Vale Geoff Nott

I have just heard the sad news that one of natures true gentlemen Geoff Nott passed away today Thursday 13th of June . Geoff was not only a really nice bloke, but an extremely talented modeller. His scenery is second to none and was very inspiring.

 Geoff was part of the group of modellers that built renowned layouts like Red Stag, Muskrat Ramble and Smugglers Cove.

Geoff was also a brilliant modeller of the Australian bush
I think my most endearing memory of Geoff though was his willingness to share his knowledge and promote the hobby. I last saw Geoff at the Epping exhibition last year teaching kids of all ages how to make their own scenery. Geoff was a huge inspiration for me and convinced me that I should model Australian scenery. I will miss his friendship and I am grateful to have known known him.

 
Geoff you will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathies to Jill and the family and his many friends.
