Memorial Service for Saaz
« on: October 20, 2015, 07:49:02 PM »
Saaz (John Nagle) was cremated in Perth and his ashes are now in Canberra.

A memorial service for Saaz is to take place in Canberra on Saturday, 7 November. We know that the Snowy ride is also scheduled for 7 November. The two events do not necessarily have to be mutually exclusive. The service is planned to start at 12:00pm until 1pm. This will provide sufficient time for Saaz’s friends at the Snowy Ride in Thredbo to ride to Canberra, participate in the service and return to Thredbo in the afternoon.

Nevertheless, the “tyranny of distance” will prevent many of Saaz’s friends attending the service. I invite these people to post below, any farewell messages to Saaz. These will be displayed at the service and passed to the family. Similarly, please post below any photographs of Saaz that you would like others to see. There is no need to re-send the ones that have already been posted.

It is to be a simple service, one that allows Saaz’s family and friends to say farewell to him and to celebrate his life. There will be an opportunity for a representative from FarRiders and OzSTOC to participate in the “Eulogy”.

The actual venue is yet to be confirmed and will be advised on the various Forums (Fora for Biggles) once the booking is made. We are hoping to secure a venue that will allow people to mingle and have lunch together after the service. We need the venue to have sufficient parking for cars and bikes, and a flexible dress standard (FarRider/OzSTOC shirts). We probably shouldn’t wear Hawaiian/loud shirts although Saaz would see the funny side if we did.

Venue Details:

Here are the details for Saaz’s Memorial Service.
Date: 7 November
Time: 12 pm to 1 pm
Location: Harmonie German Club of Canberra
Address: 49 Jerrabomberra Ave, Narrabundah ACT 2604
Parking: There is plenty of parking on the service road adjacent to the club

Wake: Details of the wake will be provided at the Service.

As much as I would like to show my last respects to John I'm unfortunately unable to attend due to ongoing medical treatment. However I will be pausing for a moment while John's memorial service is taking place.

As a suggestion would the club like to take up a collection from OzSTOC members through the clubs accounts and make a donation to the CF Federation of Australia http://www.cysticfibrosis.org.au/ or other suitable organisation management determines in John's name.

Also, postumus Life Membership to be bestowed on Saaz.

Just a suggestion to the OzSTOC Management.

Good ideas Sabie. ++
Cheers,
Gary

Chris and I will be attending. Thank you Lionel


Could we request that as many members as possible attending please wear the OzSTOC shirt, they are available for immediate delivery in the OzSTOC shop if you wish.

We are also very happy to loan our extra OzSTOC shirts for the service to those without them.

Don't forget the Bed/shed and get Fed section of the forum that may help you with accommodation and travel to the service.

Thanks for the thoughts  :-++

But we will simply allow members to follow their own wishes in regards to donations to the CF Federation or any other charity of their choosing as we have had other members pass away from other conditions.

Kinda knew that one wouldn't get through, other members suggestions on how to pay a lasting tribute to Saaz will have a better chance.

While it's sad that we have lost other members, Saaz was instrumental in the early development of this club and made an outstanding contribution to OzSTOC.

I'm now a strong maybe. I have a work function in Sydney on the 5th. If I can convince them to book my return flight for the Saturday evening instead of the Friday afternoon, I'll hire a car and drive to Canberra.

I will be attending too.

I know you have asked to wear OZSTOC shirts, but if it's ok with you guys I'll wear my FarRiders shirt. FarRiders is how I met John.

Will be going down on the Sat morning.

Please add me to the list. If anyone is looking for accommodation we have 3 spare rooms on Friday night but unfortunately we will be away on the Saturday night, our place is only a couple of suburbs away from Saaz's house .
