Everyone at MBC is very much saddened to hear that Jack Fowler has passed away. Jack was a legend in many circles including local football and of course bowls, and also a legend of the club. As most of you will have seen there have been some fantastic stories in tribute to Jack on Facebook. I hope he doesn’t mind us mentioning it but try and see Chris Kelly’s incredible tribute, you’ll laugh and cry in equal measure. Everyone who knew Jack will we’re sure have their own wonderful memories and stories to tell, it seems so inadequate to say that he will be sorely missed and fondly remembered. The fireside table will never seem the same again, but there’s a drink there tonight in tribute. Our very best wishes and kindest thoughts are with all Jack’s family and many friends. We’re sure you’re up there enjoying a drink and telling an enthralled audience how to play football and bowls in the Fowler way. Good night and god bless Jack xx

Funeral Details:

Jack’s funeral will be held at Grenoside Crematorium – North Chapel at 11am on Wednesday 30th October. All will be welcome afterwards for refreshments at Wadsley Bridge WMC.
