It is with much sadness that we report the passing of RIN Fellow Robin Payne on 28 November 2023..
Robin first joined the RIN in 1988 and was subsequently an active member of the RIN Small Craft Group (SCG) Committee. Robin represented the RIN on various external Committees and events, as well as being the inaugural Editor of Fairway, a newsletter of the SCG. After stepping down from the Committee in 2010, Robin remained very involved in the activities of the SCG and the RIN's Solent Branch, including assisting with the staffing of the RIN stands at Seawork and the Southampton Boat Show and continuing to write for Fairway.
A more detailed account of Robin’s life and involvement with the RIN will appear in the March/April edition of Navigation News.
Members are welcome to attend the memorial service on 19 January 2024 - please contact Mick Watt at RIN for further details.
Robin Payne, FRIN, 11 March 1936 - 28 November 2023
