It is with great sadness that I have to report that Mike Miller passed away this morning.
Mike was a renowned, active bowler at Ringwood and an extremely popular member.
Mike was unable to play bowls last year, due to illness, but attended the club regularly to support teams and club events.
He will be fondly remembered by long standing members of the club.
Mike will be very much missed and our deep condolences go out his family and friends.
Details of Mike's funeral will be posted when known.
Kindest regards,
Chris Dalrymple
