VALE: John (skewsy) Skewis

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our much-loved Lawn Bowls member, John “Skewsy” Skewis, on Friday 22nd May 2026.

Skewsy was a valued and cherished member of our club, whose friendship, warmth, humour, and love of lawn bowls touched so many of us. He was more than just a teammate — he was a friend, a familiar face, and an important part of our club family.

Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with John's wife Flora, family and loved ones during this very difficult time.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew him and fondly remembered both on and off the green.

Rest peacefully, Skewsy. 💙

Happy Mothers day to All our wonder Mothers,.Gradmothers, Aunties and Sisters. Hope you all have one very Special day ❤️❤️

It was a tough slow game to start 1, 1, 1 and at one stage there was only 1 point the difference in score.

Cogratularions to the Winners on the final Score 16-11.
