Vale to Nick Palmer who passed away recently, and we send condolences to his family.

Nick had a long history of community service in Violet Town including chair of the board at the VTBNC and not least a member of our Lions Club.

Vale also to Lenny Bowe – his funeral is being held at St Dunstan’s Church, Violet Town on Friday 30 May at 11.00 am. Our sympathies go to Lesley and family.
