He was instrumental in the successful move of the Club from South Yarra, where it had been quartered at the National Herbarium of Victoria for over 100 years, to its own premises in the Melbourne suburb of Blackburn. During his joint tenure, with his wife Pat Grey, as Editor of the Victorian naturalist, special issues were published to mark the centenaries of the Club and the death of Ferdinand von Mueller, and to recognise the Club's involvement in the declaration of the Mount Buffalo and Wilsons Promontory National Parks. Grey was a regular contributor to the Victorian naturalist and the Field Nats news. His particular interest was in fungi, leading him to promote the formation of a Special Interest Group within the Club, and to co-author Fungi down under: the Fungimap guide to Australian fungi (2005). 1990 2021 Career position - Member, Field Naturalists' Club of Victoria 1991 1994 Career position - Secretary, Field Naturalists' Club of Victoria August 1991 May 1995 Career position - Assistant Editor (with his wife Pat Grey), Victorian naturalist May 1995 December 1998 Career position - Joint Editor (with Pat Grey), Victorian naturalist Australian Joint Copying Project, National Library of Australia; and State Library of New South Wales (1945 - 1993)
