At the Mixed fours on Saturday 2nd January we learned of the shocking news that one of our fellow bowlers – Steve Tyler – had recently passed away. Steve was very keen to play bowls for his league team at Gilt Edge and the County short mat team. It was a pleasure to know him and to have played along side him and he will be sadly missed by one and all. Rest in peace a gentleman and friend – Your Captain Richard Payne.
