Shipmate Sid Shilling crossed the bar on the above date aged 90 Many in the area will not be familiar with Sid, I first new him when I went to my first area meeting in 1981/82.
Sid and his wife Jean weent around the area as our PRO to many shows and venues recruiting and selling memorabilia, their mode of transport was a little blue mini towing a trailer both packed to the gunnels,how they did it was a mystery I last saw Sid at our Stockton meeting. He was for a number of years an Area Vice President.
Sid was a long serving member of the Ganges Old Boys Association.
Rest in peace old mate,I'll raise a tot to you and the many good times we had together
