It is with very great sadness that I have to report that Barry Vaughan passed away, peacefully, this morning.
He was in the Macmillan unit at Christchurch hospital for the past 10 days.
Barry took up Bowling, at Ringwood in 2016 and became a very good player and an extremely popular member.
He was also very active behind the scenes in many roles such as Buildings Committee Chairman, Schools Liaison, Youth Promotion, Men's Player Representative and Vice President.
A couple of his major achievements were having the stamina to successfully secure a new lease, for the club, following protracted negotiations with Ringwood Town Council. Also, investigating and managing the instalment of Solar Panels on the clubhouse roof, saving the club much revenue.
Barry was last seen at the Bowling Club at the prize presentation evening where he received the 45-Up Trophy.
Barry will be very much missed and our deep condolences go out his wife Laurel, his children Kamala and Jonathan, his extended family and friends.
Details of Barry's funeral will be posted when known.
Kindest regards,
Allan, on behalf of
Amanda Smith (General Secretary)

The presentation evening was a great success with a fantastic turn out from the members.
Thanks go out to everyone who contributed to make the evening such a success.
From moving tables and chairs, setting up the room and not to mention tidying up, washing up all the pots and getting the club house back to normal. So many helpers, which was fantastic and I hope I don’t miss anyone.
The bar was well stocked & managed by our President, Peter and the large bottles of wine were a hit.
Carol Was a wonderful assistant at the bar and thanks for lending her garden table.
The Raffle was spectacular and organised by Debbie once again and Thank YOU for bringing another table along with your friends from Canada 🇨🇦, lovely to see them.
There were many contributions from members for the prizes which were much appreciated. Paul and his daughter kept everyone entertained with the amazing quiz which was a close affair with only 9 points separating the winners.
Games were played and another wonderful music quiz from Frank completed the activities which was followed by the awards presentations organised and set up by Doug.
The trophies were presented by President Peter Smith dressed with a very smart blazer and wearing his chain of office.
Sparkling trophies 🏆 along with replica memento's, of the seasons successes, were collected by almost everyone!
The buffet was provided by the Girls from Meyrick Park giving us a taste of the delights of Turkey 🇹🇷 !
What a night !! Click on the picture opposite to view some pictures from the evening.
