Mr Gareth Humphreys MBE
GARETH HUMPHREYS MBE.
It is with great sadness that Welsh Indoor Bowls announces the passing of Gareth Humphreys MBE, known to everyone within the sport of bowls as Mr Bowls, Gareth will be sadly missed both as a player and administrator. Gareth was President of the Welsh Indoor Bowling Association in 1990-91 and represented Wales as a player from1964 to 1984, captaining Wales in Scotland in 1972.
In 2009 Gareth’s service to bowls was recognised nationally when he was awarded an MBE by Queen Elizabeth 2nd.
His presence around the green will be a great loss to Welsh Indoor Bowls, Gareth always had time to stop and chat with fellow bowlers and his knowledge of the sport was second to none.
The thoughts of everyone at Welsh Indoor Bowls is with Audrey and Gareth’s family members at this sad time.
Rest in peace Gareth.
