Rest in Peace
Very sad to inform you of the passing on 30 October of Lindley Lib bowler Jack Hewitt aged 100. Jack won the Veterans League Over-80's title twice in 2006 and 2008. The year 2006 was a vintage year for Jack as he also won the Over-70's title which he also won in 2001 and 2002. The photo below shows Jack (2nd from the left) alongside the 2014 Over-80's KO Finals Day bowlers at Almondbury Lib.
The formal notice in The Examiner reads ...
