Ron Barber
Ron died on the 26th of February and was the longest serving member of the club. He was involved in sea fishing, casting, team events, freshwater fishing and helping with Pontins Week from the beginning. He also taught many members how to pendulum cast and was most probably the smoothest caster the club has seen. He will be missed.
Bowling
Nineteen took part in the bowling at Potters. The best score over two games went to Trevor, with a total of 266.
