Welcome to the Sussex Branch of BCS – The Chartered Institute for IT. With over 70,000 members, BCS is the world's leading industry body for IT professionals.

It is with deep regret that the BCS Sussex branch announces the sad loss of Roy Newell at the age of 82. Roy was a founder member of the British Computer Society and of our branch, as well as several other organisations. Remarkably he had served continuously on our committee since this branch was established in 1967, demonstrating his inimitable passion and dedication to promote BCS interests at both local and national levels.

Roy died on Saturday 24th July following a cardiac arrest after suffering a stroke earlier this year. The funeral service will be held on Wednesday 4th August at 1pm at the Sacred Heart Church, 39 Norton Road, Hove BN3 3BF.

The BCS Sussex branch committee would like to express its sincere condolences to Roy's family and friends at this time. Roy will be sadly missed by everyone involved with our branch committee, both past and present.
