Sad News

It is with great sadness I inform you of the deaths of two Donaghadee LBC members and former Presidents of NIWBA.

Mollie Myatt, NIWBA President in 2023 passed away yesterday 4th July, after a short illness.

Nan Allely, also passed away yesterday 4th July.  Nan was well known in bowling circles, as she had been President of NIWBA and IWBA.  She was also Hon. Secretary of NIWBA for many years. On the green, Nan had won many titles, and she represented Ireland for many years. Nan was a GOLD MEDAL winner in World Championships in Toronto in 1981, and also won gold in the British Isles Championships in 1978.

In 2024, Ards and North Down B.C. awarded a Lifetime Award to Nan, after Donaghadee LBC. nominated her.

The Officers and members of NIWBA send their sincere sympathy to the families and friends of Mollie and Nan, and to Donaghadee LBC, on their sad loss.
