Vale Janet Hendrie
The bowling club is mourning the loss of former Ladies President and life member Jan Hendrie who passed away on May 23, 2022.
Our sympathies are with her family. Jan put a lot of time into the bowling club's development along with her late husband Athol.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
Rest In Peace Jan.
