Jimmy Verbaan
29th September 24
It is with the deepest regret I have to report the death of Jimmy Verbaan who passed away in hospital on Friday 27th September. Jimmy had recently returned home after major surgery but had to return to hospital due to complications. Doreen, his wife, was at his side when he passed.
Both Jimmy and Doreen had been associated with The Club for many years with Jimmy being a stalwart of the darts team during the 70's and 80's as well as assisting with the running of the Club over many years.
Living adjacent to The Club, both Jimmy and Doreen enjoyed access to the grounds and would often be seen walking the boundaries.
Our thoughts and best wishes go to Doreen at this sad time.
The Funeral will be held at the centre chapel at Landican Cemetery on Tuesday 22nd October at 12noon, followed by a reception Old Parkonians Clubhouse to celebrate Jimmy's life.

The Association welcomes enquiries from anyone interested in starting to play cricket or rugby, as well as from existing players of all standards and levels of experience who would like to join us. We have a thriving Junior Rugby section that covers Under 7s to Under 15s as well as a new Junior Cricket section.

Although Rugby and Cricket are played at different times of the year, training for both sports continues through the close seasons. If you're thinking of getting involved for the first time, why not try some out of season training?
