Today I attended the celebration of the life of Jack Poole who sadly passed away on 28 November at the age of 96 years. Jack volunteered at SEARCH and Gosport Museum on the Mezz from 2008. He was an amazing man who enthralled visitors with his stories and knowledge of Gosport's past.
Jack threw himself into his volunteering with us and was the star attraction at our SEARCH by torchlight events for several years when he would pose as a mannequin then suddenly move to the horror of visitors. His years in the Royal Marines helped him keep very still.
I had the honour of accompanying Jack to London in 2016 to receive a Churchill Award in recognition of his volunteering with us. Others receiving awards were celebrities such as Jacqueline Wilson, Barbara Windsor, and Angela Rippon. The award was presented by Esther Rantzem.
Jack was a true gentleman who will be missed by the Gosport team and the Gosport community

An immersive, site-specific film installation by Anna Heinrich & Leon Palmer that explores Gosport’s non-native, or alien, plants, introduced by human activity, and their native counterparts, which are either indigenous species, or arrived ‘naturally’ in Britain and Ireland following the end of the Ice Age.
Combining ultra high-speed film of scenarios set up in the studio with footage captured in the Gosport area, the work presents a unique and fascinating narrative.
Alien Native is open until 19 March >>> https://buff.ly/3Vutl5e
