SWAN HILL
BOWLERS please note, there will be no Friday Frolic today, due to our club catering for Marie Shannon’s wake.
It was with sadness that we learnt of Marie’s passing, an esteemed life member of the Swan Hill Bowls Club.
Marie was also a life member of the Murray Valley Ladies Bowling Association.
Marie was a past president of the club and also held many positions during her long association with the Swan Hill Bowls Club and was club champion several times, a dedicated member and tireless worker for bowls.
Our sincere sympathy to Marie’s family; she will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
On a further sad note, members were informed that Alan Marshman passed away after a short illness.
Alan transferred to the Swan Hill Bowls Club when he retired from Tooleybuc and became a great supporter of our club and an excellent skipper, leading his rink to many wins in pennant.
He was a regular tournament and social bowls attender and a willing helper in whatever way he could.
Alan was also the Murray Valley councillor to the Royal Victorian Bowls Association for several years.
We extend our heartfelt sympathy to Alan’s families.
Friday Frolic will return next Friday, May 30 in its usual time slot and format.
Last Friday, two visitors enjoyed our Friday social game, with Dave Martin from Woodville, South Australia and Point Lonsdale player, Kevin Thompson, both welcomed to Swan Hill Bowls Club.
