It is with deep sadness that we share the news of Maurice Blackwood’s passing.

Maurice and the Blackwood family have been dear friends of the Lotus community for many years, and he will be sorely missed. Our thoughts, support and love go out to his family and friends.

Anne, Jen and James would be very touched if, instead of sending flowers in memory of Maurice, you might consider donating to a very worthy cause, close to their hearts; Beyond Blue.

Beyond Blue do amazing work supporting those with anxiety and depression, with practical tools, advice and support.

You can donate directly here: https://beyondblueinmemoriam.everydayhero.com/au/aussie-elises

A memorial service will be held to celebrate Maurice’s life at Belgenny Farm, Elizabeth Macarthur Ave, Camden South, NSW, 2570, on Monday the 14th of December at 11am. Anne has asked that bright colours and lots of Lotus cars be the order of the day, so nip down the garage now and make sure the charger’s plugged in.
