It is with regret and deep sadness that we have to announce the sad passing of Paul Butler who died early Monday morning 10th April.
Paul was the steward of Ireland Wood for many years as well as their playing captain for the A team.
Many of you will remember playing against Paul who was just as happy playing safe as he was potting the balls he was a fierce competitor.
when Ireland Wood closed in 2013 he remained a great friend of Jonny Booth, who's Ireland Wood's B team eventually relocated to Tinshill where Paul continued his playing from there.
Paul's funeral will be on Friday 5th May 10.45 at Lawnswood crematorium followed by the wake at Tinshill & Cookridge club with everyone welcome.
The LBSO committee offers its condolences to Paul's family and friends at this sad time.
