Mike Higgins, chairman of Drayton Civic Society, died on January 25 this year, aged 76, after a short battle with cancer.

She said:"I have had such wonderful tributes to Mike, he was part of lots of different things and those from the Civic Society talk about how he was devoted to the Museum, a tireless worker and it's through his leadership we managed to steer through the loss of Ian Picton-Robinson our previous chairman.

Now, Carole and the other volunteers of the Civic Society, are navigating through the 'devastating' loss of their leader – and are looking to host open days next month to appeal for support within the area.

As a 'wizard with numbers', Mike – who was the society secretary at the time – played a lead role in purchasing the derelict Grade II listed building on Shropshire Street. "Over the last year especially we made progress under Mike's leadership which we hope to build on rather than just fall back and lose all the gains we have made," Carole added.
