Notice to Auckland Local Members

Posted 8 Mar '11 under Auckland Local

It is with regret that the Auckland Local has received the resignations of William Pike from the position of Vice President and Shane McGrail from the position of Committee Member, effective immediately.

I am sure that Auckland Members will wish to join the Committee in thanking both William and Shane for their dedication and hard work, particularly in recent times, and the huge contribution they have made to the Auckland Local since their election, and wish them both all the best for the future.

Both William and Shane have requested that we thank all members sincerely for their assistance over the last few months.
