VALE BILL BELKOVSKIS
We are all saddened by the passing of Bill Belkovskis on
Friday 7th April, 2023
Bill was a wonderful supporter of the Dooley’s Social Golf Club
and it was our privilege to have him as our Patron for a number of years.
Bill was a former Board Member at Dooleys and was a Life Member. His thoughtful and professional contribution to Board matters was immeasurable.

To his wife, Lesley, and family, we extend our deepest and most sincere sympathy.
