Maurice Tudor (Aston B C)
It's with deep sadness that Aston Bowling Club wish to advise the bowling community that Maurice passed away on Sunday 12th January.
Maurice was a member of the club for many years and played in the Flintshire Midweek B, and Deeside Vets B team.
He was a real character and brightened up everyone’s day with his good humour. He will be missed by all at the club.
Funeral details: Monday 10th Feb at 11.00 am Northop Crematorium then wake at Argoed Social Club.
Stan Norwood (Aston B C)
Stan Norwood sadly passed away earlier today (24th January) after his long battle with Cancer.
Stan was a brilliant sportsman. Having played for Shotton Cricket Club for decades, he turned to bowls when Aston first opened up to play in the first teams that the club fielded. He took to the sport straight away with his natural ability. He was one of our club’s best players for many years, playing in our A teams in the Chester League, Wrexham Pairs, Wrexham Vets, Flintshire Midweek, Deeside Vets, Ellesmere Port League, and Wrexham Saturday League. Merit winner in multiple teams on multiple occasions. He played in every league the club put a team into. He was Aston through and through. He had also represented Deeside in the inter-league vets. He also played at Flint Indoor in the evening triples and pairs leagues with his Aston friends.
He absolutely loved bowls, not just playing, he enjoyed watching too. He also played in all of our internal club competitions with great success, even in his last season he picked up probably the most trophies at presentation night than anyone else in the club!
Funeral detail: Thursday 13th February at 1:00pm at Northop Crematorium
Wake at Northop Hall Cricket Club
