mond Ormerod said: “A good number of our members, ladies and men, visited him from time to time. He always looked forward to hearing news of the golf club. I saw him on the day he died. Typically, he asked about his ‘Churchill Chair’. We. all owe him a great debt of gratitude for his unstinting devotion to the early devel­ opment of our club. “If it wasn’t for his. vision and drive, the clubhouse would not have been completed as it was in 1994. After such a long and active life, most of which was spent here in the Ribble. Val­ ley, he.will be missed, but fondly remem­ bered by many.” A funeral service was held on Monday at All Hallows Church, Mitton.


RESPECTED: Mr Arthur Naylor Wilkin­ son, who has died at the age of 94.
