It is great to report that Ken Hughes, a Friend of the Choir for many years, was awarded an OAM in the Australia Day Honours list.  This honour is in addition to the Australian Fire Service Medal which he was awarded in 2010.  We send him our heartiest congratulations.

Over the years Ken has assisted the Choir in many activities such as manning the car park and other essential behind the scenes jobs.  He has been very involved in many other community organisations, including the Rural Fire Service and a number of conservation projects, no doubt with the same level of commitment which he gave to Choir activities.   His honour is very well deserved.
