Pat was a founder member of NGAG and was NGAG's Treasurer for several years, serving on the committee from 1997until he stepped down in 2011
Pat is a very knowledgeable local historian and in 2001 he published the booklet 'A Short History of Newington Green' with the Islington Local History Education Trust.
