Further to the tragic death of Bill Watson 2/69 in a car accident at Adaminaby on 15 Nov 19, Bill’s wife Jennie and family have today confirmed that they will have a private funeral and have made the following arrangements for Bill’s Farewell.

“A gathering to celebrate Bill’s life will be held at the Commonwealth Club (25 Forster Crescent, Yarralumla, ACT) on Wednesday 4th of December at 11am. All welcome.

Should friends wish, memorial contributions may be made to Parkinson’s ACT (http://www.parkinsonsact.org.au/).”

Bill’s son in law, Travis Harvey, is collecting and coordinating photos from Bill’s friends and the family would appreciate if digital copies of photos with Bill in them can please be sent to travharvey1@gmail.com

Dear Victorian Scheyvillians, we have once more been invited to visit
the Lord and Lady Somers Camps to see at first hand the respective

worthwhile giving an insight into how the youngsters benefit from
the programmes.

We are also invited to join them for lunch. A guest speaker of note
usually addresses this gathering.

The dates are as follows:

Boys Mon 6th, Tues 7th and Wednesday 8th January.

Girls Mon 13th, Tues 14th and Wed 15th January.

We are asked to arrive at 11.00 am after which there is a tour
of the site to see the people in action. Lunch follows at 1.00 pm
with 2.30 pm departure.

In order that we may coordinate our attendance could you please
let me know of your intention to come and the date/s that best suit
you.

It is always a good day.

Kind regards,
