Late last year we were saddened by the loss of one of the industry’s most lovable larrikin, Mark Mitchell.
Many of our younger members would have been taught at Ryde TAFE by Mitch, other members would have known Mitch for his many years in the industry. Mitch was a long-term Committee Member of STA NSW and always passionate and dedicated to growing a strong industry, particularly the younger generation. Back in the early days of STA NSW (originally TGAA NSW) Mitch had a bit of an alias – as the Herbie Sides, author of Around the Grounds, a tongue in cheek news/gossip feature in our newsletters. A very popular segment in our publications!
Frank Dempsey has written a few words on his colleague and friend.
