Very Sad news from Kim Tavener, the Honorary Secretary of the B&DWBA.
I have received an email from Barbara Tite of West Moors BC to let us know that Cathy passed away earlier this morning.
Cathy was a very active member of both West Moors BC and the B&DWBA Association, and will be sadly missed by both organisations.
Our thoughts are with Cathy's husband Peter and all her family at this very sad time.
Details of Cathy's funeral to follow.
Regards
Kim

Very sad news I have received from Alan Horne.
Morning Chris, my names Alan, I’m Barbara Horne’s son.
Sad news I’m afraid mum passed away last month, 14th April.
Not sure if there are still friends there at Ringwood Bowls Club of mum and Barrie’s and if anyone would want to attend funeral…
Just in case, please find details below…..
Friday 19th May, 1215pm
New Forest Crematorium
Stem Lane
New Milton
BH25 5FH
For SatNav, please use: BH25 5SZ
No Flowers (sadly, they only get thrown away afterwards…….!)
Apparently Hospitals and Care Homes will no longer take them.
Rather than being black and miserable we thought Mum liked purple, violet colours, so wear a bit of colour if possible.
Any donations gratefully received and will be split between:
International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW)
Cancer Research UK (CRUK)
Many thanks
Kind Regards
Alan
Kindest regards,

It was a damp start to the season, last week. The first Harry Wright trophy match didn’t take place, on Monday, and the Men’s ‘A’ Team Thursday match was postponed.
On Monday 24th April, six of our ladies played in The B&D Lilian Lynex Trophy at Southbourne. Mavis Hammond and Helen Blackiston won their games to play in the quarter finals where they unfortunately came second. A long but enjoyable day with plenty of wind and rain during the afternoon. Thank you to all the ladies who played and our markers. Debbie Senior.
On Wednesday 26th, the ladies were in action again, at Home against Bournemouth, in the Preliminary Round of the Bowls England, Hampshire Section, Women's Top Club Competition. Ringwood won the Triples match but unfortunately lost in the Singles, Pairs and Fours. Points 1 - 3. Shots 52 - 92.
The League season didn’t get going as well as hoped but well done to the Ladies and the Saturday Morning Triples Teams for winning their matches.
