Dave Kempthorne dies in Bloemfontein

Dave Kempthorne, an international, national selector, Master and senior Master, was one of the nice guys in this game of ours. He is particularly remembered for his impeccable manners both off and on bowls greens and for his excellent organisational flair.

One remembers with happiness many wonderful hours spent in his company at the Ladybrand bowls club, a place very dear to his heart where he filled every conceivable position in the club, most of them at the same time.
 

Dave was rewarded for his services to bowls, being presented with a Certificate of Commendation that he proudly displayed in the pub at his home in Ladybrand.
