It is with great sadness that I have to inform you of the death of our Committee member Les Burden, on 29th December 2022. As well as being a lovely gentleman, Les was a huge supporter of Broadstone Horticultural Society, being a member for almost 40 years. Most of that time was served on the Committee, including Chairman (for 20 years) and our Auditor.
He had a wonderfully varied life - Businessman, Football Association Referee, International Football Referee, Poole Councillor, Mayor of Poole (twice), Sherriff of Poole and belonged to many organisations such as the Poole-Cherbourg Twinning Association, Poole Old Grammarians and the Society of Poole.
Les will be sadly missed. Our thoughts and condolences are sent to his wife, Mary Rose. Funeral arrangements will be shared when known.
Yvonne Arnold, Chairman
