As an enduring thank you to past Members of the Club who served us well and beyond the bounds of usual duties, the Club has from time to time found it appropriate to honour certain Members with Life Membership. In this regard, it is with pleasure that the under-mentioned Life Members are remembered on this Roll of Honour.
Peter Torckler Founding Member and past-President
Laurel Jonkers Past Secretary (deceased)
George Watt Past-President serving in Office for two lengthy terms
Jean Watt Past Committee Member
Gordon Sutherland Former Treasurer/Secretary/Current President from 2008
George and Jean Watt being congratulated on their election to Life Membership on the occasion of our March 2009 AGM. Gordon Sutherland the current President on the right of the photo presents flowers and hugs to Jean and a congratulatory hand-shake for George.
George and Jean have an acoustic piano at home which was purchased on the occasion of their marriage and so George has had plenty of time to master his wonderful style of piano play. George and Jean also have a Technics GA3 organ similar tot the one the Club currently owns (2009). Jean has difficulty playing these days but used to be a dab-hand at getting fantastic arrangements and rhythms out of the GA3. They still handle the raffle for the Club each month as well as man the door for the entry fees. As a long-serving past-President, George is also a very helpful resource for guidance from time to time.
