It is with profound sadness that I inform you of the passing of Mr Peter Hardgrove.
Joining the Club in 1979, Peter was elected to the Board of Wests Ashfield Leagues in 1988 and assumed the role of Chairman in 2001, serving in that role until 2011.
He was awarded Life Membership of the Club in 2001.
Peter was also a Director of Wests Tigers Rugby League Football Club, and was proudly Chairman as they tasted premiership success in 2005. Peter was awarded Life Membership in 2021.
That same year, following his long involvement with Leagues Clubs Australia (formerly Leagues Clubs Association NSW), Peter became President of the Association, a position he held until his passing. He was also awarded Life Member of the Association.
Peter was a keen golfer. Peter has had an association with Wests Ashfield Men’s Golf Club for over 50 years. He is a Life Member and past President of Wests Ashfield Men’s Golf Club and a long-time Patron of Wests Ashfield Ladies Golf Club.
In later years, Peter involved himself more with his “local”, Wests Sports Club, where he has served on the Western Suburbs Leagues Men’s Bowling Club Committee. He was Chairman of the Bowling Club for many years. Peter was also awarded Life Member of the Bowling Club in 2019.
Peter was a retired Police Officer, with a career spanning over 30 years as a member of the NSW Police Force.
To Peter’s children, Josh and Lauren and their partners, grandchildren Billie and Ella, brother John and partner Julie Romero, we offer our deepest condolences and support at this very sad time.
Funeral arrangements will be advised.

Peter Hardgrove Obituary, Death – Our Chairman, Peter Hardgrove, passed away earlier this afternoon following a brief battle with illness. He had been battling the illness for some time. We must break the news to you with a heavy heart that he has died away. The LCA is deeply saddened by this news. The election for Peter to serve on the LCA Board took place on January 4, 2005, and he was appointed to the role of Chairman. Up to the moment he passed away, he continued to serve in this capacity. In addition to this, Peter was presented with the achievement of the title of Life Member of the LCA.
In addition, Peter was a Director and Chairman of the Wests Tigers Rugby League Football Club, where he was awarded Life Membership in the year 2021. In this capacity, Peter was recognised for his contributions to the club. Aside from that, Peter was a member of the Wests Ashfield Men’s Golf Club for life and had previously held the position of President of the club. There was also the Wests Ashfield Ladies Golf Club, which he served as the Patron of. Additionally, he was a recipient of Life Membership and had previously served as the Chairman of the Western Suburbs Leagues Men’s Bowling Club. Both of these accomplishments are noteworthy.
Over the course of his thirty-year career with the police department, Peter eventually reached the point where he decided to retire from his post. As a consequence of this information, each and every member of the LCA Board and Staff is experiencing a great degree of sorrow. During this terribly trying time, we would like to express our deepest condolences and support to Peter’s children, Josh and Lauren, as well as their wives, as well as to his grandchildren, Billie and Ella, as well as to his brother John and his girlfriend, Julie Romero. We are truly sorry for the loss of your loved one.
