I am very sad to share that my dad, David Wood (Woody) passed away on Tuesday morning 28th of August 2026. He passed peacefully with his family around him, the passing was sudden and unexpected. Bowling with his pals and team mates and seeing all his friends brought him so much joy. Even if he didn`t play, he loved to be involved being captain, making brews , he truly loved the sport and everyone he played with. We will hold a service for him yet to be finalised, i will let Alan know so anyone who would like to come and remember him. Thank you for all the great memories you gave him. Brian Wood (son)
