Some of our members may remember Gordon Stanley Wakefield.
He was a member of Ringwood Bowling Club many years ago and played to a great age.
It is with great sadness that I have to report that he passed away on Christmas Day at the ripe old age of 94.
He will both be sorely missed by his friends at Ringwood Bowling Club and our thoughts and best wishes go out to his family and friends.

On the penultimate weekend of the season, glorious weather and great bowling was witnessed by both players and spectators alike.
On the Saturday, 19th, we entertained Southbourne for another round of friendly Aussie Pairs matches. Although the matches were enjoyable, results wise we didn't fare any better than the earlier friendly played in August. As last time, we only won one rink, then drawing two and losing the other three. The overall score was Ringwood 105, Southbourne 132.
Many thanks again to Paul for producing a wonderful, fast green and also to those members who, with their efforts, made it possible to organise and run the event.
Also, a special mention for Anne Taylor, who on her Birthday, put in a mammoth shift of effort to ensure the event ran sweetly. Many thanks Anne.
On Sunday afternoon, The Autumn Triples Final was held between the teams of Debbie Senior, Mel Barrett, John Stone and Anne Taylor, Ed Melton, Richard Thomas.
Congratulations to the Winners, Debbie, Mel and John and also to the Runners-Up, Anne, Ed and Richard.
Many thanks to Doug Jones for organising and running the competition and to all those who took part.
Hopefully next year will be more like a normal bowling season. In the meantime,
Stay Safe and Well
