It is with great sadness that I have to report the recent passing of Michael Poore.
Michael joined Ringwood in 2020 and was very active bowler and popular character within the club.
Due to illness, he was unable to play during the last two seasons and it is sad to reflect that we will not see him on the green again.
Michael's funeral will take place at 2.00pm on Friday 1st November at Bournemouth Crematorium.
Michael will be very much missed by members and our deep condolences go out his family and friends.
Kindest regards,
Chris Dalrymple
