10.01.2022 Our thoughts and prayers are with Pam and family on the passing of Bruce Sayers. Bruce was a former member of the Forbes Country Music Club and often attended musters singing and entertaining with his wife Pam. Although this was before my time in the club I knew Bruce as I often saw and served him and Pam at Woolworths. Bruce was a genuine and friendly man who is now at peace. Rest in Peace Bruce xoxoxo ...
