Maybe a Google search will point him to this forum... he lives at Stokesley, near Middlesbrough, if any UK member might have come across him. He has not given me an email address so I can't alert him directly to the mention here.

Hi David,

Sandy Furniss is a member of Northallerton Camera Club, his distinction award is also mentioned on the NCPF web-site. Co-incidentally he is coming to give a talk to our camera club (Cramlington) in the new year.

Best wishes

Paul
