Ivan's Coffee Morning, on Monday, was a great success.
Plenty of members turned up to enjoy the convivial atmosphere and have a good chinwag whilst devouring lovely cakes and biscuits, all washed down with either Coffee or Tea.
Many thanks to Ivan who organised and ran the event, with help from Karen, Maureen, Ken, Sooki, Brian and Mel. (I hope I haven't left anybody out)
Also a very big thank you to the ladies who baked and/or donated the lovely cakes and biscuits.
A total of £200.60 was raised for club funds with many thanks to the members who came along.
Hopefully, see you all again at the Christmas Party.

It is with great sadness that I have to report that Barrie Horne passed away on Tuesday 12th November.
Barrie joined Ringwood from Braeside and was a renowned and active bowler who was an extremely popular member of jovial character and great wit.
Although Barrie hadn't played bowls since before Covid, he was granted Life Membership in 2019 following two periods as our President.
On one occasion, he saved the life of an opposition player at Alexandra Park who had collapsed on the green. He administered CPR, for some time, until the Emergency Services turned up to take over and take the player to hospital.
Barrie will be very much missed and will be fondly remembered by long standing members of the club. Our deep condolences go out his family and friends.
The following was received from Barrie Horne’s step son.
'I thought I should let you know Barrie Horne passed away on Tuesday 12th November, I know he was very involved as a member some years ago.
For anyone that are interested, arrangements are:
Monday 2nd December 2024. Service at 11am
New Milton Crematorium

If you have visited the club recently you will have noticed how good the club and grounds are looking. As well as Paul, looking after the green, Brian Harrington, Mel Barrett, Neil Richmond and Ivan Griffin, colloquially known as The Old Boys (their words not mine) have been beavering away improving the club and grounds during and since the end of the season. They have been banging away in all weathers and Mel has toiled away, for 2 weeks, staining the fences. I'm sure you will join me in thanking all of ‘Old Boys’ for their hard work, effort and dedication.
A few words from our President and General Secretary
'To walk into the car park and grounds and to see how clean and tidy and fresh it looks is a very rewarding sight.
It doesn’t take a minute to notice and to pass a positive comment but it does make a such a difference to everyone who works so hard.
It takes all sorts of input from different people to make our club run as well as it does and it is all very much appreciated
Kind regards
Chris and Doug xx'

Well Done and Thank You, All.
It is with great sadness that I have to report the recent passing of Michael Poore.
Michael joined Ringwood in 2020 and was very active bowler and popular character within the club.
Due to illness, he was unable to play during the last two seasons and it is sad to reflect that we will not see him on the green again.
Michael's funeral will take place at 2.00pm on Friday 1st November at Bournemouth Crematorium.
Michael will be very much missed by members and our deep condolences go out his family and friends.
Kindest regards,
Chris Dalrymple
