Alan Peake - funeral

As many have asked what arrangements there are for Alan's funeral, I can report the following.

It was Alan's wish that there be no funeral - he did not want a fuss made.
No church, no Sky Pilot & and no formal burial.

His cremation will take place at Cooma today, and his ashes held for a private family affair when his sister comes back from the UK.

It is my intention to have a Memorial Trophy made (similar to the Ian Josselyn Trophy)which will be presented at the 2009 Nationals. A small ceremony in honor of Alan will also be held prior to one of the events - assuming that this is OK with the organisers and the Club.

A similar trophy will also be produced for a Memorial Shoot which will be held annually in South Australia.
