I have known and worked with Sandy Inverarity for almost 50 years initially over a shared interest in Strawberries but later after I moved to Scotland mainly through SAC of which he was it’s first Chairman
It was a role he filled with distinction and in his own individual way He established SAC as the organisation it is now as SRUC during a difficult time for agriculture and agricultural education. He was involved and ever supportive. He asked searching questions but always to be helpful
He was interested in the organisation but also in its staff. He was always hospitable and dinners with Sandy we always memorable He enjoyed his membership of the Farmers Club and I remember great club overseas visits with Sandy where he helped to add to the social side of the visit. Industry bodies and farming organisation will mourn the loss of a great enthusiast and a powerful advocate
