We farewelled Alan Hauxwell at his funeral today. It was a large funeral with several hundred mourners attended. The eulogy was presented in a very interesting, informative and lighted way by his family and friends. Our DSR had honorary mention a couple of times. We will miss Al or Hawks as other know him. I dropped off a condolence card on behalf of our group.

It is the last Saturday of February and this means we will start from Yarragon at 8am.

Our warm weather continues and it will be sunny tomorrow with a medium (50%) chance of showers in the west in the late afternoon and evening. Near zero chance of rain elsewhere.
