Randall Bourchier
David HODGETT (Croydon) (16:43): I rise today to speak on one of our community’s local personalities, Mr Randall Bourchier. I have had the pleasure of knowing Randall for over 20 years, and in that time he has worn many hats, literally and figuratively. Not only is Randall a church pastor who gives endless pastoral support to so many in the community, he is a master of ceremonies, especially for the Celebrate Mooroolbark Festival held annually, and a regular contributor to Living Today magazine, which fosters growing community spirit in Mooroolbark and the Yarra Ranges. He is a mentor who offers pastoral support to the participants of the Hornbill Sports Club, a Chin volleyball and soccer club. Randall was also the president of the Mooroolbark Umbrella Group for 15 years and has only recently stood down from this distinguished position, after contributing from the establishment of the group through to helping build them to be an integral part of Mooroolbark organisations’ successes. At one point in time Randall was also my piano teacher, lending his guidance and patience to me as I attempted to improve my musical ability, much to my wife’s and family’s deep concern. Randall has been a stalwart of our community, and I feel it is important to acknowledge and thank those who give so much and expect so little in return. I know Randall will continue to support the Mooroolbark community in many ways for a long time to come, but in the meantime, I would like to say thank you, Randall, for all that you have done. It has not gone unnoticed.
