David Grimley, who has been a very active member for many years, sadly passed away last Friday night after suffering a stroke. Our thoughts and condolences go to his wife Pat and his family. Details of the funeral will follow at a later date. Angela
David was a long standing member of the Club and was involved in many parts of the running of Crouch Bowling Club Seaford. He was especially involved with the building of the new Clubhouse, that we enjoy today.

Normans Bench
in the sun.
I just want to say a big thank you to all the club members that came to the bowling club yesterday to help me and my family celebrate the inauguration of Normans bench We were so pleased to see so many people take the time to do this for us. We miss him dearly and the bench is a peaceful place for us to come and reflect, a place where he and I spent many happy times.
Love to you all

90th ANNIVERSARY
CLUB DRIVE
2025
A beautiful sunny day at The Crouch saw many of the Club members playing in the 90th Anniversary Fun Drive.
The competition which was played in the tropical sun was followed by a great Tea Party in the Clubhouse.
The players needed plenty of refreshments during the afternoon but all seemed to have had a great time.
First win of the season at The Crouch
Our Men's team were in action at the Crouch on Bank Holiday weekend, Sunday 4th May against Mackie BC in a National Competition. The Crouch won on 4 rinks & lost on 1. A good start to the season. Well done.
Thankyou from the Mayor

Dear Crouch Bowling Club
Thank you, so much for the beautifully crafted patchworks for the Community Coat, the response to our call for patches has been astonishing. As part of the celebrations of Seaford Town Council's 25" Anniversary, I reached out to Seaford residents, local artisans, community groups and schools to help design a Community Coat representing the amazing commitment of all those who currently work, volunteer and engage with Seaford communities.
Our work on the coat is now complete, and we have 91 patches from 50 organisations and individuals. This voluntary project aimed to demonstrate a 'moment in time', as an inclusive community initiative bringing people together in Seaford to celebrate our groups, organisations and natural surroundings. The logo above was crafted for the coat and we are indebted to the remarkable sewists that have come forward to offer their skills for this project.
I have felt incredibly privileged to have experienced the joy of sharing the coat, first as I led the Lantern Parade with our Town Crier Peter White for Christmas Magic last November, and since then on the occasions I have worn it to community events and visited local schools. I have been very touched by the stories that I have been hearing of local groups developing their patches together, such community activity underpins the aspirations we had for making this project a success.
After my last showing of the coat at our Town Forum on Thursday 1" May, please do come along, https://www.seafordtowncouncil.gov.uk/events/seaford-town-forum/ the Community Coat will be displayed for the next few weeks at Wave Leisure and will then reside in the Council Chamber. This project has reminded us that we truly have a golden thread of opportunity that connects our residents across all ages to a robust core of community concern which identifies local need and harnesses the skills and energy of local volunteers.
With my gratitude,
Sally Matull

Mayor of Seaford
