The community has been shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of local Paul Howard last week.
Paul had a long term connection with the Mathoura Golf Club, both as an avid golfer and committee member.
He was also greatly involved in keeping the grounds in good nick and if he had a buck for every time he and the tractor went round and round, he would have been a rich man.
Sympathy is expended to his wife Cheryl, daughter Rita and his extended family.
