A message for our WAC Family Community 🏑from Kellie andTim Smithall 🏑🤩

“Timmy is out of surgery and is doing well he said you’re welcome to pop in on the WAC page if you like.

He shared this in the watsapp group and asked me to share it to you guys!

I’m out of surgery, everything went well.
I would like to thank all the WAC community for the support, care, and well wishes provided to kellie and myself through our slightly extended holiday. It has been a really wholesome experience and I am proud to be a part of such a kind and caring association. Apart from the obvious, I had an absolute cracker of a time, surrounded by absolute legends and genuinely nice people. I have made some really good memories, and I look forward to making more. A big shout out to Adam for pulling me through the Quest apartment block on an office chair and waking up at 2 to drive me to the airport. Hopefully I will see everyone sooner than later on the field, if not possibly the bar.”

On behalf of our WAC Family, we wish Tim a speedy recovery and return to the hockey pitch🙏🏑💚🤩😍
