Best wishes from Robert & family

I had a call from Bob Leishman last Wednesday with the sad news that Sheila had passed. At that time Bob was not ready for me to post the news on Facebook.

Below is the message Bob posted today.

We send our deepest sympathy to Bob and family.

This post is to say that the most beautiful of persons, my loved and cherished wife Sheila Leishman passed away last Wednesday the 19th March after a long illness.

It’s too early for me & our children to say when Sheila’s funeral will be as we are all heavily saddened by our loss.

Much Love to you all from

Bob & Family.

We are running short of Birthday Plaques.

If you have a pile of Birthday plaques just sitting around and would like to donate them back to the centre to be reused, please can you bring them to your next rally and pass them on to a committee member. Thank you.
