It is with sadness that we announce the recent death of former Group Chair, Peter Marsden, who passed away in early April, aged 79.

Peter joined the Group as a parent helper in the 1980’s and served on the Group’s Committee throughout the 1990’s and 2000’s. Peter will be remembered for his cheery presence at social and fund-raising activities, and Group camps.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
