What a beautiful person Viv was! I can hear her laugh and see her smile. I don’t think a sentence was said by her, without that gorgeous laugh. We’re so glad we saw Viv and Jeff last April 2013, in Charlotte NC and did some lovely things together. We didn’t know and she was marvelous. Our lives are richer for knowing Viv. We are sorry we can’t be there this Saturday but our thoughts are with you Jeff and the entire family.

I am sorry to learn of your family sorrow. The death of a loved one is painful.  If I may, I’d like to share a scripture found in the Bible that may comfort you in some way. John 6:40 reads, “For this is the will of my Father, that everyone that beholds the Son and exercises faith in him should have everlasting life, and I will resurrect him in the last day.”  You see, according to this promise, we have hope.

Ned Woolaston – Funeral Service book.pdf

 Funeral photos:

Sgt 3/c Roger BERGAMIN was Highly commended for his outstanding courage and devotion to duty at Canley Vale on 23 November, 1981, when in the company of Sergeant 1/c E.G. Woolaston, he confronted Abdel Rahman Dehen who pointed a loaded .22 calibre rifle, with which he had just shot and seriously wounded his wife, in his direction.

The offender complied with a demand to drop the weapon and the Sergeant rushed forward and was able, with the assistance of other Police, to handcuff and arrest him.

A later examination of the offender’s weapon revealed a live bullet had jammed in the breech.

Awarded the Commissioner’s Commendation

C.R. ABBOTT, Commissioner,  20 December 1982.

The above entry was recorded from Roger BERGAMIN’s Service Record.  I am unaware what ( if any ) Award or Commendation that Ned WOOLASTON may have received from this same incident.

Sadly one of our number Wayne Eacott, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday 10th of May. Wayne had been a member of many years and some will remember him from the first Desert Raid run to Carnegie which he attempted on his Red R1100GS.

Or later at the Vintage Stomp, Voyager Estate after he completed  and exhibited a stunning restoration of a red and white R100GS PD. Most recently with some assistance from Dave Munro he had just completed his latest project a R80G/S PD which had been a few years in the process and of which he was rightly very proud.
Our condolences have been conveyed to his wife Sharon. While we only saw Wayne occasionally, his energy, enthusiasm, good nature and friendship will be missed.
