Biografie:
Denis James Vaughan Forster (1905 – 1964)
Denis Forster died suddenly of heart failure last summer on his return from a fishing holiday in Scotland, at the early age of fifty-nine.
Most of his climbing was done in North Wales from Capel Curig, where for years he was a regular member of M. G. Bradley's climbing parties; and without actually being in the top rank he accomplished many of the more difficult ascents in the Snowdon district, some of them several times over. Later he spent a number of seasons in the Kaisergebirge, the Engelhömer and the Dolomites. In all conditions he was a cheerful and amusing companion, and no party could be dull when he was in it. He was elected to the Club in 1945.
Although he had not been a great deal to General Meetings of the Club recently, he was always to be seen at the Annual Dinners, and only last December he had the pleasure of taking his grandchildren to the Christmas lecture.
With the death of Denis Forster the Club (as well as the Stock Exchange) has lost a popular and sympathetic personality.

Denis Forster starb plötzlich an einem Herzversagen, als er im Alter von neunundfünfzig Jahren aus einem Fischerurlaub in Schottland zurückkehrte.
Die meisten Klettertouren fanden in Nordwales von Capel Curig aus statt, wo er jahrelang regelmäßiges Mitglied der Klettergruppe von M. G. Bradley war. Er hat er viele der schwierigeren Aufstiege im Snowdon-Distrikt geschafft, einige davon mehrmals. Später verbrachte er einige Zeit im Kaisergebirge, an den Engelhörner und in den Dolomiten.
