The Commercial Hotel will be running a bus to Les’ funeral, departing the pub at 11:30am, ahead of the 12:30pm graveside service at Barellan Cemetery.

Les was one of Barellan’s biggest supporters, a familiar face, a great supporter of our town and sporting clubs, and a character who was truly one of a kind.

Come along as we farewell Les, share a few stories and maybe have that elusive ‘one’ he always promised us 🍺.

Please get in touch if you’d like a seat on the bus.
