The Schools Hebridean Society was established in 1962 and above are members of the expedition to Mingulay in 1980; below is the camp at Rhenigidale in 1974. It's now history and yet over 3000 places were filled by young people and leaders during the organisation's 27-years of existence. The founder, John Abbott, was a man of inspiration in many fields of education. Now, alas, his memories are curtailed by Alzheimer's disease. His son, Tom, is undertaking Expedition 365 Hebrides to raise funds for and awareness of Alzheimer's Research UK. More details are at Just Giving. If you are near Waterstones in Bristol on Saturday 23 March, go to hear him give a presentation of his proposed ventures - at 19.00. There will be more to report before Tom begins his year-long crusade at the end of March.
