It is with great sadness and regret that we announce the sudden passing of our current Secretary, Kerrie Geard.

Kerrie served as Secretary of Sandringham Bowls Club for the past two and a half years, ensuring the club and committee were well managed. Her very successful business background and years of serving on Beaumaris Rotary committee stood her in good stead to take on this role. Kerrie had also been the first woman to take on the role of Beaumaris Rotary Club President.

Kerrie took up bowling about 4 years ago when she decided to move on from golf. As with every new challenge she excelled making it on to our first side. Victoria Golf Club was still an important part of her life where she continued to play Bridge.

Kerrie’s gardening skills, her chutnies, relishes and jams were second to none and raised countless dollars for many local organisations.

Having been widowed at an early age with her two boys, Adam and Sam, still to be educated Kerrie took up the challenge to give the family the best of everything which she did by paving a brilliant career.

Kerrie was a remarkable person who will be missed by so many, but especially Adam, Sam and their families. Our thoughts are with them
