Peter Bent (North Surrey)
Sadly Peter Bent has passed away during a stay in hospital. His interest in cacti and succulents went way back and he was long-standing member of the BCSS and its predecessors. He had a particular fondness for the mesembs and had displayed many wonderful plants at the MSG events in Banstead over the years. It was at one of these events that he persuaded me to attend a North Surrey branch meeting and from there my own interest in our wonderful plants was reignited. Thank you Peter, RIP.

Oh, very sad - I knew Peter quite well, from the North Surrey branch also. He grew some amazing plants.
RIP Peter.
RIP Peter.
