Honouring the Late John Milne.
It is both a privilege and an honour to officially recognise the late John Milne as a Life Member of the Berry Show Society.

Like so many in our community, we were deeply saddened by John's recent passing. While we miss him greatly, we will continue to celebrate the remarkable legacy he leaves behind and the countless contributions he made to the Berry Show Society and the wider Berry community.

We were fortunate that several members of the Show Society Executive were able to visit John at David Berry Hospital and present this award to him in the presence of his family. It was a special moment and one that we will always cherish.

John's dedication, generosity and unwavering support of the Berry Show over many years helped shape the event we know and love today. We are forever grateful for his service and friendship.

A special thank you to his wife Christine Milne, who graciously accepted John's Life Membership Award on his behalf at our recent AGM.

John's contribution to the Berry Show Society will not be forgotten, and his legacy will continue to be felt for many years to come.

Vale John Milne.
