It is with sadness that I must inform you of the death of our dear friend, colleague and Club member Graham Paxton.
Graham was a well known bowler far and wide in Surrey and a winner here at Purley Bury.

I am sorry to have to tell you that Al passed away earlier today.  He had been unwell for some time and had been living in a home.

He played outdoors at Monotype Bowls Club and was a member at Donyngs before he became too ill to play a few years ago.
