The Club is extremely sad to announce the passing of Ken Knowles, who died last Thursday (8th September) following an accident from which he could not recover. Ken was the Club’s first Treasurer from its formation in 2013, until he handed over the reins just about 3 years ago to Martin Roberts. He made a massive contribution to the Club in its initial years and helped steer us through the setting up of the Club. He had previously acted as the Treasurer at the Windmill Bowling Club, working across the road at the Borough Council Offices.

Ken had not really played in the last couple of years as he was devoting more time to his family, but had previously played for one of our Wednesday night teams. He was very much a family man and will be sorely missed by his wife Jacqui and his two children, David and Kerri. In fact David, along with Ken, helped to erect our away hut by the artificial green when it was brought from the Windmill.

Details of Ken’s funeral will be posted once we have them, and we will hold a minute’s silence tomorrow night at our social event at Aughton Institute to remember Ken.
