It's is highly likely that some Club Members, of more that 15 years standing, will remember Alec and Sylvia Wells. I have received the following email from Alec.
Our thoughts and condolences go out to Alec, his family and friends.

I am very sad to report that Sylvia Wells passed away on Boxing Day after 2 years fighting cancer. We were members but left in 2007 as the majority of our family live here in Swindon, and we were beginning to get old (67). Please could you inform the aged bowlers who may remember her. I told President Derick on the phone as I remembered his name and saw he was doing what I did for a year. I am sending the funeral details in case anyone wants to come.
Sylvia’s funeral will be Saturday 28th January at 12.00 pm –
Please let me know if you wish to attend as I need to know for catering and leaflets.

Ted Huggins passed away peacefully this morning, Friday 14th October, with Maureen by his side in the Intensive Care Unit of the Great Western Hospital, Swindon, after having been admitted to hospital, sometime earlier.
Our deep condolences, thoughts and best wishes go out to Ted's wife Maureen, their family and friends.
Ted and Maureen joined Ringwood Bowling Club in 2017 and came back to Ringwood in 2020 after spending two years at Braeside. They moved to Marlborough at the end of the 2021 season. Whilst at Ringwood, Ted had a great impact playing for Ringwood in both the Bournemouth and New Forest leagues and competitions, Ringwood competitions and representative matches.
He will be sorely missed by our members and also those of Braeside Bowling Club. The following picture shows Ted after winning the 2021 B&DBA Triples with teammates Dan Cookman and Richard Thomas.
I will post details of funeral arrangements when known.
