It is with great sadness that I have to inform you that Les Wilkinson has passed away. Again it was cancer that ended his life.
Les was one of our long standing members and although he was one of the members who lived furthest away from Bonalba, did not mind the round trip from and to Calpe every week. The Costa Blanca Golf Society was dear to his heart, so much so that he took on the Captaincy of our Society twice, the generous and kind man he was.
He was always one of the first players to sign in for the golf competitions even when his tee-off time was late. At first we thought that he was so keen to start the game but that was not his only reason as some of us who played in his four ball found out and got the benefit of. Les went on his morning round of "fishing" and presented us with balls from the lakes.
And who will now be telling us about the quickest and most convenient routes to the various golfing venues?
Les, you will sorely be missed by all of us at the Costa Blanca Golf Society.
Our thoughts are with his wife Rose and family in these difficult times and we would like to extend to them our most sincere condolences.
