15.01.2022 It is with a mixture of sorrow and gratitude that Woodend Hanging Rock Petanque Club announces the passing of Marilyn Steel. Sorrow, in the passing of a wonderful, caring, gentle person who knew how to enjoy life, laugh and give comfort to so many; she will be missed. Gratitude, for all the quiet, significant and enduring contributions that Marilyn made to WHRPC. Together with Chinka (current Club President) Marilyn was involved in introducing Petanque to Woodend after exper...iencing the game during a visit to France in 2000 and being part of our Club’s formation in 2001. In recognition of her involvement in the founding of WHRPC and the many years of playing, working on Committee, always volunteering and pitching in, Marilyn was recognised as an inaugural Honorary Life Member of the Club in 2014 by then President Ken Helmore (pictured) at our Annual General Meeting. Rest in peace now, dear Marilyn; you cannot be replaced.
