Ann will be sadly missed by all in Swindon’s Tenpin Bowling community. Annie had bowled at Swindon’s original Fairlanes Bowl at Cheney Manor, which opened in August 1962, and was one of the lucky ladies to meet Fairlanes Chairman and Hollywood Film Star, Douglas Fairbanks Junior, when he visited the centre. The Cheney Manor site closed in February 1967, but when the new Superbowl (now known as Tenpin Swindon), opened at Shaw Ridge 23 years later, Ann was reunited with some of her old bowling buddies, in addition to making many new bowling friends over the subsequent years.
