Tonight the Trustees invited to the Gratton John Polak, former chairman, treasurer and longstanding trustee. Current chair, Babette Bond, presented to John a glass paperweight with the following engraving:

Presented to

John Polak

by

the Gratton Trustees

as a mark of their appreciation for his tireless work for many years as Chairman of the Board

June 2022

Joining in 2013 John and his wife Judy were a driving force behind introducing Grattonbury, and half the facilities found on the Gratton today.

Stepping back from the committee in 2022, John leaves behind a vastly improved Gratton, and a financially sound Trust. Today the Trust is led by a strong team of committed volunteers who continue to grow in number, bringing new ideas and sustained energy to maintaining and developing our beautiful green space.

Thank you and farewell John.
