Wynne Rice Hugh Jeudwine 1920-1984
Wynne Jeudwine, who joined the Club in 1960, died in 1984 at the comparatively early age of64. Although he had not been seen at Club meetings for some time, he attended the lectures quite regularly for some years. Wynne enjoyed rock climbing in the United Kingdom as well as Alpine ascents. He had also climbed in Greece.
Wynne started climbing in the Alps in the early 1950's making several solo ascents in Austria. In later years he climbed on and sometimes led guideless ropes with friends both in Switzerland and in Austria. Some of these climbs were done during meets of the Association of British Members of the Swiss Alpine Club, of which he became a member in 1954. He was Honorary Editor of its Journal in 1963/64.
Wynne was well known in the art world, both as a journalist and as a dealer. For some years he was the editor of the magazine Apollo and as a dealer he specialized in Old Master drawings.
Although generally rather reserved, Wynne could be both enthusiastic and eloquent on matters that interested him. He was a steady companion on a rope and his quiet sense of humour enlightened many odd moments. Those who climbed with him will remember Wynne with affection.
