GEOFF PRICE was born on Merseyside, with his life-long interest in trams beginning at 9 months of age (Llandudno). A published author, his varied working life has included advertising (agency and newspapers), property valuation and road passenger transport. He is a former parish councillor and primary school governor. He was captivated by Glasgow’s trams, belatedly, in 1961 and, as a former chairman of the Merseyside branch of the Tramway & Light Railway Society, developed their monthly meetings into successful gatherings for a wider audience interested in transport generally.
