Sad news from Albany Bowling Club
Sad to report the passing of Dave Hulmston - a well known bowler on the Wirral. A fierce competitor and on his day an excellent bowler. Always stayed loyal to the Albany - joined them when just 15 years of age! His bowling ability did take him to other clubs as well as the Albany - Hr Tranmere, Gladstone, Pensby and Brom Recs. Never one to withhold his opinion and he always had an opinion! President of the Bebington league for 25 years and was honoured when made a Life President. Has his name on a few individual trophies and loved his bowls - also Life President of the Albany Club. Definitely will be remembered by all who crossed his path! Sadly dementia blighted his last couple of years though he still could tell tales of matches gone by, and bowling characters - of which he was certainly one. RIP Dave... or David as George O'Neil would say.
Wed 30th Jul
The BCGBA Junior Merit is held each year involving 32 of the top Junior Bowlers in the Country (Males/Females Aged 18 or under with 2 Representatives from 16 different Counties).
