2025 President

Update  20 September 2025 - (John Prattley)​​​​

​

The season came to a close today with a triples competition for the Stinson Cup.  We were very fortunate to virtually complete the competition despite a very doubtful weather forecast. Congratulations to the winners Graham Findell, Bill North & Jen Cort and thanks to Linda for the lovely cakes and to John & Jen for organising the match.

​

​

It's been a very sad time  for the club recently with the loss of three of the Whitwick Park family.

​​

Sue Price - Although Sue was not able to bowl for Whitwick, due to health reasons, she was a regular supporter at league and friendly matches.  Sue was a lovely lady who always had a kind word for the players. Some of our members were able to attend the funeral this week -

it was a lovely service and a fitting tribute to Sue.

​

John Bentley - John was a keen bowler in both league and friendly matches.  He always had a funny quip and introduced the Monday Competition which was a big hit with the players - we renamed this the John Bentley Competition this year in his honour.

​

Frank Waterfield - Frank has not played for us for some years but was a regular Over 60s and Friendly Team player who was always cheerful and popular with the teams.

​

All will be sadly missed and our thoughts are with their families.
