The Avoca Football Netball Club offers our condolences to the Astbury Family on the recent passing of Dave Astbury.
Dave was a Life member of the Natte Bealiba FNC. But he also spent some time at the Avoca FNC.
Avoca gained the services of Dave Astbury in 1956 from Natte Yallock when they disbanded in 1955.
Dave was best man afield in both of our finals games of the 1956 season, but a nine point loss to Navarre in the preliminary final ended our premiership hopes.
In 1958, Dave retired, but served Avoca as a club trainer until 1962, and returned to Natte, when they amalgamated with Bealiba to become the Natte-Bealiba FC.
A large gathering is expected to attend the funeral Service on Monday 17th December at 11am, at the Natte Recreation Reserve, and a private burial will occur prior to the service.
