Message of Support from Terry Luke, Retired Member

"As a retired member, I have known Michael for many years. During those years his encouragement and advice have proved of great value. Michael has shown concern for all our members (including retired ones) without regard to his own personal benefit.
Where on the few occasions disagreements  have arisen, they have been respected and not led to any bitterness or rancour on either side.
The lack of personal animosity and ambition and not having a hidden agenda are not only vital, but essential qualities for a branch officer at such a level.Members in all their diversity, are Michael's main priority and he recognises their interests come before his personal views. Retired members still have a stake in and committment to, this Branch.

Because of both, I would recommend to those that can affect this election, that a vote for Michael will ensure a continuity in terms of representation and negotiation. Such a vote will also mean that retired members continue to feel a welcome component of this branch.
At all levels, good representation and negotiation is a vital skill and this skill has been employed by Michael in his role as Deputy Branch Secretary over the last five years. A vote for Michael is an endorsement of his  abilities and expertise and it is also a vote for members as they will benefit when they most needto call on these qualities."
