Ken Gainger, Bangalow

After a decade of dedication to improving the quality of life of the less fortunate in our community Paul Spooner has announced his resignation as the general manager of the Byron Community Centre.

Paul will be sadly missed and his generosity of spirit and commitment to the Byron community will be long remembered by those who have had the pleasure of working with Paul and/or being associated with his good work.

Congratulations, Paul, on your amazing contribution to our community – good luck in your future endeavours.
