It is with great sadness that we report the loss of Les Gilsenan. Les managed the Whanganui DRC, was a former Executive Member of the Federation and was President for a number of years. In 2013 he was made a Life Member in recognition of his outstanding commitment to the Federation and its membership. He was particularly dedicated to ensuring we all worked according to the Federation Standards and a robust Code of Ethics. Les will be missed by all those who knew him. Rest in Peace.

Tino pouri kua hinga te Rangatira.  Moe mai ra I to moengaroa e hoa.

It is very sad that a great Rangatira has passed.  Sleep well my friend.
