Bowls England regrets to announce the passing of former E.B.A. President 1998 and Honorary Life Member John M.S Ades.

For many years John served as Secretary of the Warwickshire County Bowls Association and eventually became President in 1986 and Life Member in 1996.

John was also a Life Member of the Midland Counties Bowls Association after serving as President in 1993.

In 2002, John became President of the British Isle Bowls Council.

John’s many friends throughout the British Isles will miss him for both his friendship and comradery and we all acknowledge with gratitude all he gave to enhance the wonderful game of bowls.

Our thoughts are with his wife Pat, his children Caroline and Michael and also his grandchildren.
