The Club was saddened to learn of the recent passing of Des Bolster.
 
Des and his family had a long and enduring association with Seagulls and he left a great legacy from his time as a player, official and ultimately President of the Club.
 
Such was his commitment that he combined with a dedicated group to mortgage their properties to enable the purchase of the land that saw the development of the Seagulls Club and the Chris Cunningham Football Ground.
 
Des was of the generation where volunteers worked in clearing the land as part of the golden era of the oldest provincial club in the game.
 
The Chairman and Board of the Club honour his legacy and pass on the condolences of the members and players to the Bolster family in this sad time.
 
The memorial service for Des Bolster will be held at St Joseph’s Catholic Church, Tweed Heads, at 1pm this Friday July 16.
