Frewin and his wife, Shirely, were valued members of the original North Bendigo, including during the 1960s when the club enjoyed a successful era in the Bendigo District Cricket Association.

Frewin served in all executive positions on the club's committee for more than 20 years. Both he and Shirley are life members of North Bendigo.

"Many past players of North Bendigo will remember Brian as someone you could always rely on to get a job done with little fuss," Tony Plant said.
