Passing of Eddie Bowers
Edwin known as Eddie to many of our long standing Centre Members joined the Centre in 1970 with his first wife Mary who sadly passed away in 1999. They became Life Members of the Caravan Club which they were very proud of. He attended many Centre rallies over the years as Members and Rally Officers and as a Committee Member for several years. He was always very active and a popular Member on the rally field and was well known for being the Centre’s Auctioneer on all our Charity Rallies and helped raise considerable funds for the charities concerned. He was the proud owner and the envy of members with his superb 3.5 Litre Rover Coupe and his Castleton caravan. He organised Centre rallies and holiday rallies in the UK, Germany and Holland for members and visitors. He was always a feature on the top table of the Burns Night Dinner Dances at Bashley Park. He was quite a character, there was never a dull moment when he was on the rally field. He will no doubt be a sad loss to the West Hampshire Centre, the Caravan Club and now the Caravan and Motorhome Club.
He married Heather in 2001. They rallied when possible until he became unwell and with great regret gave up caravanning in 2005 and had to go into a care home in 2012. Even there he was still trying to organise things !!! One thing for sure is we will never forget our time and rallying with Eddie Bowers.
There are no funeral arrangements at the moment. It will however of course be subject to the current Covid – 19 Government restrictions for funeral arrangements.
