After the formal part of the AGM, a presentation was made to John McCormack who was stepping down as a Trustee after 6 years. John was presented with a piece of artwork from local artist and LOHP Membership Secretary Sue Lawrence. John won't be leaving us he will still be coming out getting hands dirty with the practical conservation volunteers and as an active member on the Communications Team. Thank you John for all your hard work as a Trustee over the years.
