Gilbert is the daughter of Snowy Wilson – the longest serving Secretary of
the Randwick Botany Cycling Club. Phyllis was born in Botany in 1923 and is
now aged 79. She lives in a tranquil location on Dangar Island near
Brooklyn on the Hawkesbury River. Her family was one of the first to settle
on Dangar Island.

One does not have to be Einstein to work out why her dad was called "Snowy"
or "Snow" Wilson.

Many thanks to our club publicity officer, Tony Horneman, who spent hours making templates and obtaining the correct
