Hi Fellow club members. At our Wednesday meeting this morning one of our longer standing members spoke briefly of the recent passing of one of our members no longer living in Marlborough. David (Dave) Martin. Dave was a local member through the 1970-80-90s period .Considering how much effort and work Dave put into our local branch in those years, it was noted (and the member was correct in bring it to our attention) that only four members of the branch attended the farewell for him at the clubs of Marlborough. To be fair the death notice for the memorial service was easily overlooked as it did not include much information about him, so this was not surprising to me. Dave and his wife Josephine, left Blenheim, having lived in Renwick, Seddon, and back to Blenheim again, before departing to live in Geraldine some 20 years ago. He may have finally moved on to Wanaka, as it was there where he passed away.
