February's winners are...
£50 Richard Acton

£10 Richard Acton

Derek Headley
Following a massive stroke on Boxing Day, Derek passed away peacefully with the ever-present Gina by his side. The service in Milton Malsor was attended by friends and family and a good number of members who all shared their memories. Always the life and soul and never without a story to tell or an opinion to share, Derek was a popular member of the club for many years. He served as President in 2005 and was always keen to encourage younger members of the community to have a go at bowls - including myself. Despite his ailing health during the past two years, he never lost his spirit and lust for life. Our love and thoughts are with Gina and his family at this very sad time.
Nationwide Bowler
The comings and goings at Woodford over the past 12 months have been followed closely by the local press as well as several bowls and turfcare magazines. The latest to cover our story is Nationwide Bowler. To read the article click here.
John Cook
It is with great sadness that I have to inform you of the passing of John Cook, who died peacefully in his sleep on 22nd April. John had been unwell for some time but despite his failing health, he continued to be an active member of the club and was looking forward to playing this season. John was a founding member of the club and was also treasurer for a short time. He was also one of the driving forces behind the building of the clubhouse. He will be greatly missed by everyone at the club. The club is to plant a Rowan Sorbus (Mountain Ash) tree at the front of the club in John's memory. There will be a short memorial at 11am on Sunday 25th September which will be attended by his wife Rita and his children Nigel and Anita. All club members are invited to attend and pay their respects.
Solden Hill House
Residents if Solden Hill House will be joining us every Monday afternoon for the remainder of the season to enjoy an hour or so of bowls as part of their recreational activity. They have all played before and some have their own bowls. It is a hugely rewarding hour (as well as a lot of fun). If anyone would like to help out please let Tom Rigby know.
