The Thomson Grandchildren- James, Evie, India, MacKenzie and Vivian.
Thoughts at the Forbes Croquet Club turn to our amazing Scorekeeper and Publicity Officer, Tony Thomson, who unfortunately passed away last Wednesday night. Tony will be long remembered by our Croquet Club as a well respected and caring member as he so dutifully kept score sheets and delivered the news to the local papers.
Although Tony’s illness over the past few months slowed him down he was such an inspiration playing croquet with us only the week before his untimely passing.
To Pam and her lovely family, members of the Forbes Croquet Club extend to you all our deepest sympathy and our thoughts are with you all as you try to come to terms with the loss of a much loved family man.
As a mark of respect last Saturday Croquet players wore Black armbands in honour of Tony and stood in silence to remember him. Tony may you Rest in Peace after a “life well lived”.
Aussie Croquet was played on Saturday 26th October and it was so lovely to have the Thomson Grandchildren join us for a game together with a friend Abey Downes.
Please note the new starting time as from Saturday 2nd November will be 9am.
Our Birthday Luncheon will be held at the Forbes Sportsman Hotel (Golf Club) on Tuesday 12th November and your names need to be recorded asap.
