A service will be conducted on Saturday 19 November at the Inglis Thoroughbred Selling Complex, 285 Oaklands Road, Oaklands Junction, Victoria (5 minutes from Melbourne Airport).

The venue reflects two of Jim’s great life-long loves – horses, and livestock selling.

A light meal will be provided, and refreshments available. Gates will open at 11am, with formalities getting underway at Noon.

Friends and colleagues planning to attend are asked to RSVP, for catering purposes.
