The Taylor Support Shropshire Premier Bowling League has be given the sad news that our life member Jeff Hutchinson has sadly passed away at the age of 92. Jeff was an integral part of setting up our league and was our vice-chairman when it first started. Below is our speech we made about Jeff when he received Life Membership at our 25th Anniversary event as well as a picture of receiving the certificate of life membership. We would like to send our condolences to his family at this sad time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeff was involved in the very early rumblings of a county league, attending the meeting in 1990 at Old Shrewsbury. He suggested another idea to hopefully persuade leagues and clubs to join, but this didn\u2019t go much further. However when the idea was resurrected in 1993, he attended the meetings again and was the Mid-Shropshire representative to try and persuade the league to let their clubs join. They did this pretty quickly at their next committee meeting. He wrote to the county advising them of the league starting and what they were doing in order to create it. The league appointed him vice-chairman for the first season too, showing how important they valued his input. He still remains a supporter of the league, attending matches when he can, and played 12 games for Sir John Bayley, 11 of them coming in 1999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
