Bill was a special man.
He loved Cornwall and all things Cornish.
He promoted Cornwall in Australia.
He went to Gorsedhs in Cornwall and  the Bardic gatherings in Australia.
He advised about arrangements for them in Australia.
He was a foundation member of the C.A.V., and in later years, Secretary, President and Patron.
The history of the C.A.V. has been written by him.
Bill loved to sing.
He was very happy leading the singing of "Trelawney" at C.A.V. meetings with the cry "Kernow bys Vyken"
He learnt some Cornish but didn't much like exams.
We are very sad at the death of Bill.
