THE WINCHESTER CLUB
NOVEMBER 2024 NEWSLETTER
Did you know that the World’s First Public Television Service was launched on 2nd November 1936? Now we can sit glued to it through the dark evenings ahead. That is of course you can find anything that’s not a repeat!

We would like the smokers to respect the non-smokers and refrain from smoking on the ramp area. If it is not raining we ask that the smokers use the patio area. Thank You!

***********************************************************************
Now for the sad News, we have lost two Members recently and the Committee on behalf of All the Members would like to express their sincere condolences to the Family and Friends of
Val Padwick who will be missed by her many friends and fellow Bowlers. Roy Newman, who joined the Club 53 years ago. Roy did a lot of work at the Club saving us a lot of money over the years. He was assisted by the late Laurie Owen, who carried on Roy’s work when Roy could no longer do it.
