Obituary

Tribute to Nigel Baines


It was with great sadness that we learned earlier this month of the death of Nigel Baines, who was one of our earliest trustees.

Nigel was great supporter of the Blackwater Valley Countryside, and indeed many other initiatives aimed at improving the local area.He represented Rushmoor Council on the Blackwater Valley Countryside Partnership Management Committee for many years. Despite a busy council schedule he rarely missed a Partnership meeting, whether it was a formal committee or a site visit. He supported the formation of the Trust and was appointed the first representative of the Partnership Management Committee on to the Trust’s board.

In his role as Trustee he was able to use his contacts and experience to steer the Trust through its formative years, including getting it registered as a charity and seeing the first success in raising funds for projects. His support for the work of the Trust was unfailing, and even when no longer a local councillor Nigel continued as a Trustee until ill health forced his resignation in 2009.
