Derek Little Retires from Morley Club Covering Sheringham, the Runtons, Holt and surrounding villages in association with the Cromer Times and North Walsham Times
After 25 years as greenkeeper at the Morley Club, Derek Little at the age of almost 84 has retired from his post, reports Eric Hayton. Surrounded by family and friends of the Bowls Club, Derek has called time and is to be replaced by three people who will keep the greens up to standard - Clive Matthews, Paul Hadley and Ian Pitts.
For virtually the whole of his life, apart from a sojourn with the National Service in the RASC, Derek, a true Shannock, has been involved with keeping grass in good condition - before the Morley he spent 38 years at Sheringham Golf Club.
David Dunkley, Chairman of The Morley Club presented Derek with a framed Honorarium certificate giving him free life membership to the Club and the bowls section and John Flowerdew, President of the Bowls Section presented him with tokens contributed to by all members. Children Malcolm, Beverley, Pauline and one of his six grandchildren, Ben, were there to see Derek presented with his certificate and many gift vouchers. Derek also has six great grandchildren.
What will you do now I asked him, “Nothing,” he replied, “except play bowls! I have truly enjoyed my time here - I have always been treated wonderfully by the members. I can only recommend the game - bowls is a pleasant, relaxing game that helps to keep you fit.”
