The Kew Ladies wished to thank KMBC for their donation to the Cancel Council Biggest Morning Tea held by the Ladies.

It is with a heavy heart that we advise the passing of our fellow bowler and more importantly our great friend, Eddie McPhee.

We are all saddened and in shock of this tragic news.

Our condolences go out to Michelle and family at this difficult time.

Eddie was one of those larger than life characters and will be sorely missed by all those who had the pleasure of knowing him (per Peter Laing).
