JOAN WRIGLEY

It is with great sadness that the BCGBA must advise of the passing of Joan Wrigley. Joan lost her battle with Cancer on the morning of Saturday 1st February.

Joan has been a stalwart of the British Crown Green Ladies for many years and was currently Vice-Chairman, having previously held the role of Ladies President (2001) and Competition Secretary. She was a member of the BCGBA Referees Society and a Past President of Yorkshire Crown Green Bowling Association. She was highly respected throughout the bowling community and her loss will be to the detriment of our great sport.

I am sure many bowlers will know Joan and will join us in sending our heartfelt condolences to her family, her Yorkshire County colleagues and many friends at this difficult time.
