WRAG Christmas Function 12 December 2016
VALE: TOM YOUNG
Very sad to advise that WRAG's Oldest and longest serving member (1983) Tom Young, passed away on Saturday 22 July 2017 at the age of 97. Toms smiling face and twinkly gaze will be sadly missed by all WRAG members. But by his 500 Club colleagues in particular. Tom still enjoyed and played a keen hand of 500 until only a couple of months ago. See the April 2017 WRAG Newsletter for a profile of Tom Young.
