We were saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Matt French, the Chairman of Somerset Dowsers. He had informed Somerset Committee members of his illness just before Christmas.

Matt had been dowsing for over twenty years and provided a professional dowsing service in Somerset. He was a well known figure within BSD and served for a number of years on the committee.

Previously he had had a career in the Royal Navy as a Master Mariner, Chartered Surveyor and Chartered Marine Technologist. He used to help out at Cowes week in the summer.

The Somerset Dowsers’ Committee will carry on as a group, as well as part of the South West Dowsing Zoom Group.

Devon Dowsers send condolences to Matt’s family.
