With sadness and deep regret, we have to announce that Dave Thewlis died on 17th June 2025, after a three year illness which had curtailed his participation in running All Things Ransome and TarBoard.
Dave had been a long time Arthur Ransome aficionado and supported TARS and was a founder and long term Chair of All Things Ransome. Before that he had also been active in TARSUS, the US branch of TARS including editing and distributing their Newsletter "Signals from Tarsus" and also acting as the US Regional Coordinator. Dave was also an early user of the internet and participated in the first electronic newsletter by Ransome fans "Signalling to Mars", providing reports on the 1994 and 1995 TARS AGM.
Please post your own memories of Dave here on TarBoard to join our celebration of the life of this remarkable man.
