It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of John Casey. John was a very active member of AVOHK and a committee member for many years. He will be missed by many. A funeral service will be held for John on 2nd October and full details have been sent out to all members. Anyone wishing to attend should email Colin Whittington at vice-chair@avohk.org.
