Chris Sparkes

It is with great sadness we report the sudden death of Michael Packard on Wednesday June 1^st 2022.

The family are working through his affairs, and as such, no trading is possible that would usually have occurred through Michael himself, however some books are still available from his distributors.

For anything urgent, email but please be aware that this address is infrequently monitored.

Your patience and understanding will be appreciated through this difficult period.
