Friends of Black Rock House
Brad ROWSWELL (Sandringham) (13:01): I would also like to remark on the annual general meeting of the Friends of Black Rock House, which occurred on Sunday. I was accompanied by my son Charlie to that meeting. I would like to especially congratulate someone who was presented with life membership of that organisation, in Geoffrey Goode OAM. Geoffrey Goode is one of those rare people who has dedicated the majority of his life to the service of others, whether it be through his service on the former Sandringham council, where he himself as a councillor played a magnificent role in preserving Black Rock House for future generations, which is why he received that life membership acknowledgement on the weekend, or whether it be his work with the Proportional Representation Society or the Beaumaris Conservation Society. We thank Geoffrey Goode OAM for his service to the community, and we also thank Carolyn Brown OAM for her 10 years as president. She has stepped down from the committee this year. Friends of Black Rock House is a great organisation.
