Dear Members and Friends,

The service for Julianne was well attended by some 150+ people and was a fitting tribute to this great lady.  A selection of notices and tributes from friends and family and a special tribute from Bob Brown are attached here and here.

In the last few weeks we prepared a commemorative thankyou for Julianne and also a “draft role description” (see below) for her replacement – Julianne got a good chuckle out of these!!
