The Club received advice last Saturday that Ian Adams, aged 85, had recently passed away with his funeral to be held on Monday 16th June 2025.
Ian had the honour of being the oldest member of the Club (in terms of both age and also the longest continuous membership of the club) being a founding member of the present Glen Innes Pistol Club which was formed at a Special meeting held on 27th February 2025 with Club approval issued in May of that same year. There was a previous Pistol Club in Glen Innes that Ian had also been a member of which unfortunately folded several years earlier.
His Club membership lapsed in August 2024 due to his declining health and the fact that he was sole carer for his wife who also suffered from serious health issues.
Ian fell short of 50 years continuous members by a mere 6 months. There would only be a small number of Pistol Club members Australia wide who could lay claim to being a continuous member of any one club (or even multiple clubs) for so many years.
Our condolences go to Ian's family.
