Welcome to the Melbourne Meccano Club Inc.
Vale Bill Inglis
It is with great sadness that we inform you that our highly respected member, Bill Inglis, passed away peacefully on Thursday, 21 May 2009 in the presence of family members.
Bill returned to the Meccano hobby in his later years and joined our Club. He participated regularly, even though it required a long trip for him to attend each meeting. He formed many firm friendships among the fraternity, both here and overseas, and he will be sorely missed by many.
With the assistance of his family, a tribute page that celebrates his life and great contribution to our hobby will be published here shortly.
Rest in Peace, Friend.
