THE Rochester Bowls Club extends our sincere sympathy to Wendy and family on the loss of Clive Usher, our hard working treasurer for many years.
Clive was the one who would enter teams and other information on our website as well as look after the bar and finances.
Clive was a computer genius who was always there to help others less able to understand technology.
He will be sorely missed by all.
At this stage, the annual meeting of the board of management will be on Monday, August 3 at 7pm at the club.
Nomination forms are available at the club for positions on the board.

THERE was a cool, chilling breeze that greeted bowlers to the weekly game of scrounge last Wednesday.
This resulted in a slight dip in numbers, but it did not deter a few bowlers to record above average tallies.
On rink one, Russell Shawcross returned to the winning circle in scoring 54 points to edge out a gallant June Clifford on a respectable 42 points.
Newly elected club president Ray Hanson carried home the chocolates on rink two with 50 points while Denise Gilmore was in hot pursuit on 46.
Genuine left-handed Graham Turner registered a defiant 50 points to head a close field on rink three.
Alan Kauffman was next best with 47 points.
On the final rink Andrew Harris had the day-high score of 64 points to finish ahead of Phillip Cunnington on 42.
Bowlers enjoyed a super sausage sizzle after the games organised by Brian Kinnane.
The game of scrounge will continue each Wednesday (weather permitting), starting at 1.00pm.
Names to be listed prior to 12.45pm.
With the continuing COVID-19 virus disrupting almost everything, we must endeavour to look after each other and stay healthy on the bowling green.
During the week the club held the annual general meeting with a small gathering.
Outgoing president Russell Shawcross delivered his president’s report and thanked all members and supporters for their continued support over the past two years.
Shawcross also acknowledged the strong support from the club sponsors and all members that helped the club progress in some way.
Greenkeepers, bar staff, tournament committee plus a huge thank you to the mighty ladies committee for their ongoing commitment.
CVBD board member Brian Kinnane took the chair for the election of office bearers for season 2020-21 and congratulated Shawcross on his brilliant effort over the course of his two year stint as president.
