Please see below a message received this morning from former OBA President, and Chairman of the Vice Presidents Association Eddie Dorling,
I wondered if you were able to relay to the bowls world the news of Frank's passing on Thursday 29 January 2026, in his 97th year. He has been housebound for some time and his health has not been all that good lately. I have kept in touch, visiting him regularly since we both ceased to play. You may remember we were both very much involved with the Vice Presidents and Indoor county for a good number of years.
A number of you who have been playing for a few years will remember Frank, a good humoured man who loved his bowls. I will of course pass on funeral details when I receive them .
