Vale – Dorothy Thompson

It would be very re-miss of us not to mention the passing of Dorothy Thompson this week. Dorothy was a member of the Women’s BC for some 37 years & only a couple of days ago was at the club planning her comeback to bowls after a break due to ill health. Unfortunately Dorothy passed quickly after a fall.

The entire Bowling community would like to extend our sincere condolenses to her family & friends.

She will be very sadly missed here at Tea Gardens Bowling Club – always a very lively, competent bowling, who always enjoyed her game & became very close to a lot of the ladies.
