A former athletics club chairman's book collection, including signed fantasy novels, is being put on sale in Hastings by his widow.

Reg Wild’s book collection will be up for grabs in Bookbuster, on Queen’s Road, as his widow Jean is clearing out some of his stuff after his death in 2011.

The former Hastings Athletics Club chairman and community champion was friends with fantasy author David Gemmell, who was also once editor of the Observer.
