Announcement from Brian Britton, LAS Chair - Sue Moir
"It is with deep sadness that I inform you that Sue Moir died peacefully at the Great Western Hospital today, Monday 4th November. Many of you will remember Sue with deep affection.
Sue has given sterling service to LAS over many years both as a member and Committee member. Amongst other duties, she ensured that, for many years, the Thursday Group was efficiently run at both The Trout and the Pavilion.
Sue will be sorely missed, both as a friend and a stalwart LAS member."
