It is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of a great member and stalwart of Blackwood Bowls club. Following a lengthy battle where he fought manfully throughout Paul finally succumbed on 11th February.
However sad this occasion, Paul will be fondly remembered and his legacy will live on for many years. Pictured left he can be seen proudly showing off the Pergola build throughout covid with his best mate Brian Keeling.
There was hardly a day when Paul was not over the club carrying out tasks both small and large. A new bar area was constructed, a new kitchen area, A patio area was extended, the green was re-marked and ditches improved, the list goes on.
Paul only joined in 2015 but his impact was meteoric becoming clubman of the year in 2017 and was a life member in an unprecedented move in 2021 due to his immense contribution to the club. He became the bar manager and held many positions of office on committee. On the green he established himself as a 1st team regular with his tenacious will to win and played district bowls for the RSVBA.
So it is with a heavy heart but with fond memories that we say goodbye to Paul and offer our deepest condolences to his family and best friend Brian keeling.
