DON SCOTFORD
1934-2011

Don, joined the Cleobury Mortimer Bowls Club in 1997, and due to his popularity he took on the role of Chairman, after Ray Stott stood down in 2000
Don placed great emphasis on involving all members in any decisions made within the club and wanted everyone to feel that the club belonged to them.
He was always a calming influence in any disputes that arose and would always
ensure that any problems would be satisfactorily be resolved.

Don was a good bowler, playing for the Cleobury team in the Ludlow League,
and Cleobury 'A' in the Highley League.and at one time the Mortimer team also the the Ludlow league. He also enjoyed great success in the Sunday Morning League
with the Marksmen team.
He was also a member of Highley Bowls Club, playing in their Senior Citizens
teams in the Mid-Shropshire Seniors League.

Don introduced the idea of getting both Clubs involved in supporting the annual
Air Ambulance Days, and so raised 100s of pounds for this great cause.

The Club prospered under Don Chairmanship. He will be sadly missed and will be a hard act to follow.

As a mark of respect the newly refurbished pavilion, will in the future, be called the

DON SCOTFORD PAVILION.
