He was also a major fund-raiser for the Jersey Lions' own team in the annual Swimarathon which since 1972 has raised more than £2,500.000. It was appropriate that the Club of which he was a founder should seek to reward him with a Life Membership, only the second the Club has awarded in its 46 years. Sadly he died before the award could be made. |

Throughout all these years both as a wife and as a Lion, Gina could always be relied on to be there to help with all activities (burger van, tombola stalls, fetes, youth exchange, social events etc). There will be many annual events that will never be quite the same. Gina not only supported the Club but also the District & the MD attending many Conventions.
