The museum volunteers supplement the permanent staff by acting as guides to help our visitors find their way about the museum and explain the stories behind the exhibits. Their presence also offers another level of security as they circulate through the large exhibition halls, checking on the whereabouts of visitors and being available to
assist in times of need.
The attributes we look for in a guide are:
• Enthusiasm for aviation history. A background in aviation is a distinct advantage but the facts and figures can be learnt and we do provide
background notes.
• Good communication skills and the ability to get on well with people of all ages and backgrounds.
• High standards of personal presentation and behaviour.
• A modest level of fitness, as you will be doing quite a bit of walking.
• Reliability and trustworthiness.
• Ability to work unsupervised. Although we prefer there to be two guides per exhibition, this is not always possible.

He was also involved in the Methodist Church, played in the orchestra for several Blenheim Musical Theatre shows, and was an active member of the Marlborough Tramping Club.
He passed away on Friday the 2nd, aged 83 at Oxford, North Canterbury, where he lived for around the last 25 years.
His funeral is being held at Oxford Union Church, 1pm Thursday, but will be live streamed, so any of his friends or work colleagues will be able to view the service online.
If anyone has any messages, they can pass them on to me.
Just a week before he died Ecan recognised his efforts over many decades in this article: www.ecan.govt.nz...
Given Dad's interest in conservation, rather than flowers, native trees that can be planted and bring pleasure to future generations would be preferable to flowers.

The reserve he created is in Canterbury, but he had an association with Marlborough since he was a child, so I'd quite like to plant a tree for him somewhere here too.

The General Practice Owners Association of Aotearoa's report titled ‘‘On The Brink’’ outlines the urgent need to address pay parity for GP nurses and doctors, beef up workforce numbers and improve funding allocations for practices with the hopes that this makes heatlhcare more accessible in the community.
