It is with great sadness that I advise the passing of Gus Staunton, Patron of the Mini Car Club of NSW.
Gus passed in his sleep yesterday with his family around him after a short illness.
Gus was our President for the 1st 8 years and has been our Patron since.
I spoke to his son Wayne this morning telling me that he was still telling stories in the hospital about his time in the club and that the hospital needed a map so they could find their way around. If he had a map he would have organised a trial around the wards.
Gus was a natural leader and the Mini Club would not be the club it is today with out him and then Tony to lead the way.
Gus was also a big influence on Surf Life Saving in Australia and this is how Mum and Dad ended up in the Mini Club, through Gus and Surf Life Saving.
Wayne advised me that the funeral will be
Saturday 6/09/2025 @ 10am
St Patrick’s Church
69 Queen St, Boorowa NSW 2586 (This is near Yass, about 3.5hours from Menai)
RIP Gus
