R.I.P. David Lloyd (Crake Valley Croquet Club)

16 February 2021 by Tony Thomas Leave a Comment

It is with great sadness we report the tragic death of David Lloyd on Sunday 14th February 2021, whilst undergoing surgery for a ruptured aneurysm.

Our deepest sympathy goes to his family and those close to him at this very sad time. David was passionate about playing croquet with a great determination to succeed. He was a valued team member in all forms of the game, representing the Crake Valley Club (and also previously Westmorland) at both local and national events.

David was also instrumental in pushing forward several projects to improve facilities at the Crake Valley Club. He will be sadly missed.
