Waine Dendy Lawton 1946 - 2025

We are sad to announce the passing of Waine Lawton (F, 1965).  He died yesterday (29 September) after a short illness.

Nicky Bicket of the UK Branch writes: "Waine was at Bishops from 1960-1965 and he and his wife Liz staunch supporters of the UK Branch. He was one of the fastest and most feared schoolboy bowlers of his day. He and Liz moved to the UK where they founded and ran their own prep school for almost thirty years".

We send our heartfelt condolences to Liz and their family, at this sad time.
