Jack McLean, who used to bowl for the Cockbeck Bowling Club (for over 30 years), has sadly passed away a few days after Christmas, at the age of 92. Whilst Jack wasn’t a member of our Club we will have members that bowled with him and remember him. Jack was also very much involved with the Junior Bowls Forum and was the Treasurer of that organisation for a number of years.

Jack was a lovely man who put so much into the sport and was so keen on bringing young people into the sport and working with local schools. His health deteriorated during the pandemic. The funeral will be held on Tuesday 17th January (12 noon) at the West Lancashire Crematorium, Pippin Street, Burscough. Jack’s family have said that he would have loved any former friends from the bowling community to attend. Jack’s granddaughter, Tiffany (pictured below with Jack) ), got in touch with us and provided some of the pictures below.
