Hard Shipyard Trust Launches Continued from page 22 FAREWELL AND THANK YOU, JILL from Waterside Community Fund At the last meeting of the Waterside Community Fund (WCF), retiring Chair of trustees, Jill Tomlin (pictured), was presented with owers and an engraved vase by new Chair, Tina James. Jill read a poem she’d penned about the Fund, said how sad she was to be leaving, and thanked the trustees. She was also presented with a lovely picture from our talented outgoing Vice Chair, Judy Saxby, who continues as a trustee. Jill remarked how rewarding it had been to play a role in helping so many Waterside residents over the past 16 years. Jill, who joined the Fund in 2009 and has been Chair of the Policy Committee, Vice Chair and, nally, the Chair, leaves big shoes to ll for our newest trustee, Ian Wheeler, who the trustees all look forward to working with. All at WCF wish Jill a very happy retirement and thank her for her long service. Trustees meet weekly to consider applications from individuals and organisations in need across the three Waterside parishes (Hythe and Dibden, Fawley and Marchwood).
