Holden Retirees Club Honour Roll

MEMBERS HAVING LONG ASSOCIATION WITH HOLDEN AND THE RETIREES CLUB

The Honour Roll is updated once per year. It is constructed as at 1 January each year, and lists all those who joined Holden 60 years or more ago and are current financial members of the club. Note that some older members have not provided their start date to us, so we cannot include them on the Roll because we can’t establish their service. If you know someone who feels that they should be included, please ask them to send us their start date as best they can recall (even if only the year) and if it is 60 years or more ago we will include them in the next issue of the Roll.

The Roll below was created on 1st January 2025.
