Sadly one of our former members, Alan Mayne, passed away last week after a short illness. Even though he only played a few seasons with us, his phrases live on through our games. Shouts of ‘lazy bowl’ and ‘not gone unnoticed’ continue to be heard across the green.

Alan really enjoyed playing as part of OBC and will be missed. His funeral takes place on Wednesday 3rd June 12 noon at Altrincham Crematorium and afterwards at Bowdon Croquet Club. We will have him in our thoughts at this time and our condolences go to Ian and all of Alan’s family and friends.
