BEGRIEVEMENTS

We have two items of sad news to report this month. We recently were informed of the death of Ethel Finan. Ethel was a regular bowler for several years until she was forced to return to the UK due to ill health. You may also recall that last year Pat Groves, a long term social member of our club, returned to her native Yorkshire following a serious fall. Sadly, Pat also passed away recently. Our thoughts are with both their families.
