ROBIN TANNER

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Robin Tanner, who died peacefully on Saturday, 23rd August.

A long-standing and much-loved member of the bowls club, Robin was an excellent bowler who proudly represented the club with distinction for many years. He was warmly regarded by all who knew him, remembered not only for his sporting talent and interests but also for being a true gentleman, a “nice guy,” and well respected clubman.

Robin will be deeply missed by his many friends at the club, who send their heartfelt condolences to his family at this difficult time.

May he rest in peace.

His funeral will take place on Monday 22^nd September at 11.15am at Westerleigh Crematorium

followed by a wake at the bowls club.

A SPECIAL DATE FOR YOUR DIARY

AN EVENING TO REMEMBER ROGER and DOUG

SATURDAY 27th SEPTEMBER @ 7.00pm

On Saturday, 27th September, following the final game of the season, we will gather for a special evening to celebrate and remember the lives of two much-loved members of our club who sadly passed away earlier this year – Roger Britton and Doug Mackay.

In their honour, we will be dedicating the two new viewing shelters with commemorative plaques to ensure their contributions are remembered for years to come.

The evening will begin at 7.00pm and will include a free buffet and a subsidised bar. It will be a fitting way to close our season – sharing memories, stories, and raising a glass to two true stalwarts of our club.

We warmly invite all members to join us in celebrating the lives of two club legends and supporting this special event.

CHAMPIONS

BEES retain Clarence Davey Plate with a great performance in a comfortable win over Victoria Park in the final at Redland Green.

Following the win Club Chairman Alistair Binnie said

“This is a fantastic victory for the club, and I want to pay tribute to every player who has represented us throughout the competition. From the early rounds right through to the final, it has been a true squad effort. This success belongs to everyone involved — well done to all.”
