Ian joined NCG Committee on 3.3.1984;

Chairman 20.3.1988 – 27.3.1991; 19.7.1992 – 22.3.2006.

Ian received the Rotary Community Service Award in 1999; a MPS achievement award in 2000 in the MPS ‘Year of the Older Person’ and received OAM in 2009 for his conservation work.

The NCG owes Ian a huge debt of thanks. Ian will be greatly missed for his tireless and dedicated efforts for conservation, for keeping abreast of all matters of concern and interest to the MP and for his wisdom in dealing with complex and sometimes sensitive matters. We wish Ian and Enid well.

 

 

Ian's funeral and celebration of his life will take place on Friday 17 May at 2pm. 

The service will be held at the Avenue Uniting Church, corner of The Avenue and Blackurn Road, Blackburn.

May he rest in peace.
