Captain of the Parish of Rushen, Stanley Clucas resigns from role

Tue, 26 Sep 2023

Tributes are being paid to the Captain of the Parish of Rushen who has resigned.

Stanley Clucas was appointed in 1998 by former Lieutenant Governor Sir Timothy Daunt.

Arbory and Rushen Commissioners say he was an ‘integral’ part of the parish community and his resignation marks a ‘great loss’.

The authority adds he, and wife Pam, worked hard for the community with a ‘warm, positive and engaging’ attitude.

Mr Clucas was previously a commissioner and was active in his support to local charities and organisations.

In 2016 he donated the Ballachurry Nature Reserve to the Manx Wildlife Trust for residents and future generations to enjoy.

Mr and Mrs Clucas hosted a party for Queen Elizabeth II’s platinum jubilee there and supported a coronation party for King Charles III last year.

The Lieutenant Governor will appoint a new captain of the parish in due course.
