The Club is sad to announce that it has just been informed of the death of Ken ‘Predator’ Pike, who played at the Windmill with several players from our Club. Ken was a very funny man who could both intentionally or unintentionally (no-one was ever quite sure) make you laugh out loud, and he always had a mischievous grin on his face. One such instance was asking Steve James, just after he joined the Windmill, “How old are your grandchildren Steve?”! The green often rang to the cries of Dads Army or fishing jokes (“Reel him in Pike”) when Ken was on the green.

Never the best on the green, but a steady bowler, Ken had to give up bowling after bad health just before Ormskirk BC was formed so never was able to play on our greens. The game has lost one of its characters, RIP Ken.
