Sunnyside is mourning the passing of long-time member Dawn Wood. Dawn had been a club member for more than 20 years and was the club's longest-serving member. Even after her 90th birthday she was still playing.

She was a great supporter of the club and, in earlier years, was known for her baking for social events, helping at Bunnings and taking part in working bees at Sunnyside Croquet Club. She was also a keen mahjong player.

Members will miss Dawn's storytelling and good humour.
