OBITUARY: MALCOLM SQUIRES

SAD to announce the passing of county stalwart Malcolm Squires who lost his brave battle for life at the Peterborough City Hospital on Saturday (Dec 3) at the age of 76 with wife Norma at his bedside.

Over the past four decades he has been one of the most influential administrators at both county and club level, including two terms as Northants Bowling Federation president.

It was only in September at the county luncheon that the county recognised his long and loyal service spanning some forty years with the presentation of a cut glass fruit bowl in what was an emotional experience for all.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Norma and the family at this extremely sad time and he will be sorely missed by all, especially by those at the City of Peterborough club, where he made a major contribution in the club’s development over the past few years.

The funeral service will be held at the Peterborough Crematorium on Thursday, December 29th at 12 noon. His wife has requested that mourners adorn their club bowls shirts and donations are in aid of Prostrate Cancer.
