Vale Roger John Shinkfield
On behalf of members of the Kensington Marryatville Bowling Club I acknowledge the passing of our greatly loved member Roger Shinkfield. Roger passed away peacefully on Wednesday June 19, 2024. A private service for Roger was held on Monday July 1, 2024. Roger was well known for spending many hours at the club not only bowling but keeping the flowers blooming. He was always willing to offer a few words of advice and encouragement on a range of subjects with weather being a specialty. Roger has a rink on A green named in his honour for service to the club.

Happy Hour
A group of 30 or so enjoyed Happy hour upstairs on Friday night. Thank you to Pip and Neil for rallying members from tennis and bowls to attend. Thank you also to Pip, Liz Greenfield and Michael Ward for for the delicious sausage rolls, ham and cheese toasties, dips and cheese platter. Peter Douglas and David Henderson ensured drinks were poured.
Pip promised a sunset and we weren’t disappointed! A great night seeing our KGBTC community coming together, which most there thought could be something that we do every few months.
