One of the sad sides of sending out the notices of meetings is that occasionally we receive advice of a passed member. This was the case sadly with Derek Marley.
Derek was not one of outstanding athletes but was one who genuinely loved club life and maintained his connection with the Club through to his death in 2019. He grew up in London during the war and so was a Blitz survivor. When he migrated to Australia after the war he joined Mercantile. He clearly was one who loved the camaraderie perhaps more than the sport.
