"I am writing with the sad news that Old Number 1, Stephen Dearnley – one of the Ulysses Club’s founders and our guiding light for more than a quarter of a century – passed away this afternoon, Saturday 11th February. A memorial service is planned for Thursday afternoon 29th March at the Mildura AGM.":

"It is with the heaviest of hearts that the National Committee announces the passing of our founding member, Old Number 1, Stephen Dearnley. As can be appreciated, it is a sad time for his family and those close to him.
Knowing the love that members have for Stephen, the family realises the many cards and condolence messages will follow. In respect of their privacy and sadness at this time, the National Committee asks that all condolences be sent via the National Administration Office.
Although Stephen’s funeral will be a private affair for family and invited friends, the National Committee advises that a memorial service will be held at the Mildura AGM Event 2012. We hope that the membership can be there to celebrate the life and legacy that this man leaves.
Please appreciate this is a difficult time for all. A tribute page to Stephen will be available shortly in the Members’ area of the National website."
