Phillip Andrews 1907-70
Andrews, who was elected as a member of the Club in 1949, was my oldest climbing friend, as we first met when we joined a climbing party in Switzerland organised by a mutual acquaintance in 1929.
After this we climbed regularly together in the Alps with other friends for the next few years, until marriage and the calls of work broke up the party. During these years there were also many rock-climbing week-ends in Wales and the Lake District. Phillip was a man of many parts. He was a rugby player as a young man, playing for the 'Wasps, and later on he took up golf. His first love was, however, mountains and mountain activities. A rock-climber and summer mountaineer at first, his interest gradually changed to ski-ing and ski-mountaineering. In this connection he played a great part in the organising and leading of skimountaineering parties for the Ski Club of Great Britain, and was a past President of the Alpine Ski Club. By profession Phillip was a surveyor, and in addition to working at his profession found time to serve on the local council.
Shortly before his death he joined the Alpine Meet of the A.B.M.S.A.C. in Trient. Here he was in great form and took a leading part in the climbing. Now he has passed on. We mourn the loss of a man of wide interests and great personality, and extend to his wife and family our sincere sympathy in their bereavement. George Starkey
