Brighton Cemetorians Celebrate 20 years

Written by admin. Posted in General

Our 20th Anniversary afternoon tea was held  Sunday 22nd June 2025 at the Murrumbeena Bowls Club with about 50 people attending. It was an amazing afternoon catching up with people we have got to know over the many years and to getting to know those newer faces. The slide show of photos that showcased the past 20 years of what the Cemetorians have been involved in over the years. Our President, David Thomson welcomed everyone, talked about the Cemetorians and thanked everyone for their support especially with the Flag Project.  Also thanked Jane Nigro for proof reading our Journal for the opast 20 years. Elizabeth Paine, our First President and Richard Darke a previous Vice President spoke about the cemetery and their memories. It was lovely to welcome Ingrid Harvey, CEO at SMCT and for her lovely words. Many thanks to all who were able to attend and for making the day so very special, also for the many emails that we received congratulating us on this wonderful milestone, a couple of which were read out by David Thomson.
