We know our members and supporters are passionate people, but perhaps none more so than those who were recognised at last night’s AGM for being Carlton members for 80 years or more.

President Stephen Kernahan and Chris Judd were on hand for the proceedings, to present the members with Certificates of Appreciation.

In all, 15 members were recognised for this amazing commitment, but only six were able to attend the meeting.

Those presented with their certificates at the MCG included:

William Ives

Jean Jaeger

Myra Kawulak

Alan Rees

James Russell

Phyllis Marjorie Taig

           
The members who will be presented with certificates at a later date include:

Keith Brown

Aileen Castillo

Vera Grant

Clifford Holah

Ken Kleiman

Stan Ladd

John McCredie

William Murray

Alma Tivendale.

Meanwhile Carlton’s longest serving member, Myer Brott, was awarded Carlton Life Membership. Mr Brott has been a Carlton member for a remarkable 87 years. His son Trevor was on hand to accept the award.
