Congratulations and Very Well Done to Mark Brocklebank, Steve Van Wyk, Derrick Fulker and Peter Ward who are the 2023 Bowls Hampshire Senior Fours Champions. They have won through to play in the Bowls England National Finals which take place at Royal Leamington Spa on the 23rd & 24th August.
Although not quite matching their achievements of last year, Dan Cookman and Luke Bell (Sports Centre) played very well to reach the Final of the 2023 Bowls Hampshire Junior Pairs. Unfortunately, they lost 21-10 to Zac Miller (Basingstoke Town) and Lewis Brimble (Knyveton Gardens) in the Final.
Congratulations to the Ladies' Team of Mavis Hammond, Helen Blackiston, Chris Pentelow and Debbie Senior who play their Bowls Hampshire Area Fours Final, against N. Mapes, next Wednesday 5th July at Fordingbridge, 2pm.

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,
Chris Dalrymple
