Gwenda Watchorn Tribute

Deepest Sympathy to Terry and Family at the loss of his wife Gwenda on Friday 29th December.  Gwenda will be sadly missed by the club.  All the members who have known her over the years will remember a delightful lady who was a tireless worker for the club.

The Leongatha Cycling Carnivals were successful because Gwenda was a wonderful supporter of this event.  Spending many hours devoted to the endless tasks in preparation for the racing. If you speak to the many cyclists who competed at the Carnival like the Meares Sisters for instance, Gwenda is remembered with affection. Gwenda opened up her house for many competitors over the years as a place to stay, rest and prepare for the racing at Carnival times. Her wonderful friendship and assistance to the club will be always remembered, not the least to cycling in Australia.
