MOIRA GRANT

As many will remember Ross Grant was the Competition Organiser for Hertfordshire, the Region and nationally for women's artistic.  Ross still serves as a committee member for Hertfordshire and the region.  It is sad therefore to report that his wife Moira who battled with Cancer for ten years has sadly died.  The funeral was held in Essendon on Monday 27th February.  For anyone who would like to make a donation towards the chosen charity  please contact Ovacome.        www.ovacome.org.uk/   This is a UK support network for those affected by ovarian cancer.
