A memorial service for Sir Donald Bradman is likely to be held at St Jude’s Church on Wednesday, March 28.
Bradman Museum yesterday confirmed that is the most favoured date, with the Church being the venue where Sir Donald sang as a choirboy while he was growing up in Bowral.
The Reverend John Livingstone will conduct the service, which will be held six days after a memorial service at Adelaide’s St Peter’s Cathedral.
Bradman Museum will be closed during the Bowral service.
Meantime, the death of Sir Donald has delayed a Federal Court case dealing with alleged trademark infringements on the use of the cricket legend’s name.
Lawyers for the late Sir Donald and the charitable organisation The Bradman Foundation yesterday asked for a two-week adjournment in their case against six property development companies and two company directors.
Bob Ellicott, QC, told Justice Roger Gyles a number of legal formalities needed to be done in relation to Sir Donald’s death and asked for the case to be stood down for two weeks.
Justice Gyles stood the case over until March 13.
Bowral lawyer and Bradman Foundation director Garry Barnsley on Monday said he hoped there would be a resolution to the matter soon.
Sir Donald and the Foundation had alleged the companies - Bradman Corporation, Bradman Nangarin, Bradman Cascades, Bradman Camden Park, Bradman Wilton Park and Bradman Building - used the name Bradman in a manner which mislead the public into believing the companies were associated with them.
