Congratulations and Thanks to John Wall

The treasurer of the Whitchurch Millennium Green Trust, John Wall, was given the title of Honorary Alderman by Hampshire County Council in recognition of his service to the people of Hampshire.

The chairman of the Milllenium Green Trust, Graham Burgess, on behalf the entire Trust and Friends, extends his congratulations to John, and adds this reflection on the contributions made by the Wall family:

Deep in the hidden foundations of the meadow we find the concerted efforts of a special Whitchurch family, the Walls. Alison, now sadly passed away, was one of the originators of what we have now and as ever John supported her and did as much as he possibly could to support the Millennium Green.

John is our Treasurer and although we have pictures of Alison and John actually out there planting aquatics in the newly built ponds we have benefitted and still do benefit from the sort of regular input required of Trustees.

John’s discerning and carefully measured approach to treasurership and a good sense of humour enriches our monthly meeting of the Trustees so not only do we have a good friend we have a businesslike treasurer and contributor to social life in the town generally.
