It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of our longest serving member and former President Frank Ward on October 13th 2007 following illness.
Frank became a member of the Lodge in the early 1960's and was a very talented club member for over 40 years including being our President in 1984 - 86.
Bowls and the Owton Lodge Bowling Club in particular was a large part of his life and only illness prevented him from continuing to play the game he loved so much.
Frank will always be remembered by all those who knew him as a true Gentleman in both sport and in life.
Our thoughts go to his wife Joan and family at this sad time.
