Thelma Porch
It is with sadness that one of our life members Thelma had passed away
In her day she was a wonderful bowler winning many trophies .
Thelma was a great poet and wrote many funny poems about lady bowlers
At the age of 100 she had a book of poems printed which included some of the bowling ones. Donations for these went to the Hub ,I think there are some still there .
We send our condolences to Thelma’s family and friends .
