It is with sadness that I must advise you of the death of Mr Howard Minnis who passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on Monday evening 16th June. 

Howard, who was one of life’s gentlemen, and a fine bowler, was a former President of Knock Bowling Club, and a member for many years. To his wife Irene, daughter Linda, son Gary, son in law Trevor, and the wider family circle, we extend the sincere condolences of the club and assure them of our thoughts, prayers, and support at this time of deep loss. 

Funeral arrangements will be advised in due course.

Hearty congratulations to all those who represented the Club and played in the Saturday Team League at the Stadium over the winter.

CI Knock defeated Shafestbury in the Final today after beating North Down in the semi-final to lift the title.

Well done ladies and gents, who followed their victory by very generously donating all the prize money (£160) to the new Viewing Enclosure which we hope will be in place by the end of June. Sincere thanks to everyone involved.
