Every year, at our Annual General Meeting, the members vote for the Member of the Year. This year, the overwhelming winner was Peter Marsh who has now won the award three times.

When measuring Peter’s value to the club, you only have to imagine the impact on the club were he to suddenly not be around. Peter makes so many contributions to the running of the club, including editing our newsletter, managing our website and performing the duties of Secretary. In addition, Peter assists with various printing needs and can be relied upon to always lend a hand when we hold events. In short, he is a critical and extremely valuable member of the club. This year, Peter came close to making the ultimate sacrifice for the club. Whilst we were setting up for the Annual Fish Show, Peter went to his warehouse to collect show tanks and equipment and, in the process, fell from a ladder and cracked his head on the concrete floor. Fortunately, someone walked in and found him! Thankfully, Peter is back to normal and continues to work hard for the benefit of the club.

He is nominated for Member of the Year every year, as his contribution is so consistent. We’re glad to have him around and he’s a worthy winner of the award.
