WALLY KINGABY (02/07/1928 – 28/11/2009)
It is with sadness that we report the death
of Wally Kingaby on 28th November 2009 at the age
of 81.
Arriving in Cortijo Cabrera, Turre, Spain in the mid 1980s, following his
retirement from the police force, he was involved in the
setting up of the David Bryant bowling centre at Cabrera and
became bowls manager at Cabrera Lawn Bowling Club when it
was formed in 1986.
In 1988, Wally moved to a new bowling centre
at La Mata, as bowls manager, where he and his wife Doris
assisted in the training of many aspiring new bowlers, until
he left in late1994, to return to UK, due to Doris’s ill
health.
As bowls manager in the clubs, he welcomed
many visiting groups from the UK both on the greens and
socially.
He took part in several Spanish National
Championships, and among his bowling successes, was the
winning of the pairs in 1993 and the fours in 1995.
Many, throughout Spain & UK, will have fond
memories of Wally and he will be sadly missed.
