  6. It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that the Board of Directors, Staff and Members of the Morwell Bowling Club regret the sudden passing of long-term member Harry Wright

    Harry was a gentle soul, who volunteers at the club for over 25
    He would want everyone to celebrate his life, just like he did.
    A true Gentleman, always ready with a humorous and cheek comment.

    This allows us the opportunity to reflect on the fabulous person we were lucky enough to know and work beside.

    Sincerest thoughts and deepest sympathy to his family and friends at this sad time

  41. Thinking of Harry’s family and friends especially his best mate Ernie at this most difficult time. I felt so fortunate to be on Harry’s bowls team when I started playing as a new bowler at the Morwell Club. During the two end roll up he would kindly share his assessment of the green with me pointing out which was the wide or narrow side. Rest easy Harry now reunited with your wife.
