The Pitcairn Islands Study Group (PISG) was formed in North America and the UK organisation was constituted from an informal meeting of PISG members resident in the UK during 1987-88. The name of the UK PISG was changed to the Pitcairn and Norfolk Islands Society in October 2012 (PNI Soc).

David Ward
It is with very great sadness that I learned of the passing of our much-loved Founder, David Ward, on 29th July. He died very peacefully in hospital, with his family there. I had a letter from Pat, informing me of this, - we all knew he was very poorly but it has still come as a great shock. He was such a true inspiration in his enthusiasm for the Group, and most of us would remember the inaugural meeting we had at his Vicarage, back in the '80's.
The funeral is to be on Tuesday 16 August, at St George's Church, Hamilton Avenue in Tolworth, at 3pm, followed by a wake in the Church hall.
