To who it may concern

Would you please pass on to your members the sad news that Mick Johnson passed away yesterday a victim of covid-19.

Mick was well known for his passionate and forthright opinions about anything bowls, with a lifetime's service on and off the green.

At county level he was a past committee member, past President of the WWCBA and county team manager. At club level Mick was a founder member of The White Lion bowling club which mutated into the New Inns BC in about 1970.

Mick was vice President of New Inns BC and for many years served on committee and captained both the first and alliance teams. 'Pancho' was one of bowls great characters, never afraid to say what he thought in meetings and a force to be reckoned with on the green and off it, well known for his particular style of encouragement.

We will sorely miss his experience, advice and knowledge of bowls and will be the sadder for the loss of his sense of humour and infectious laugh.

God bless you Mick.

Peter Smewin, 

Secretary, New Inns Four Oaks BC.
