“Doreen has also always been keen to promote Oswestry otters as their representative.

“Doreen’s knowledge of the sport at Oswestry for so many years has been invaluable and fascinating! I will miss her terribly. ”

His departure came at a time of more change at the club, with other committee members stepping down from their roles.

Rob Walker of Crossfit Oswestry, who served on the committee since 2014 and chaired the Oswestry Sports Forum from 2017 to 2019, has resigned.

Forum Chairman Stu Manford is delighted to welcome the new committee members on board.

He said: “The pandemic restrictions have been devastating for local grassroots sport and most committees have been upset.

“We hope to do everything we can to help the local clubs get back on their feet. One of the ways we can help is our grants program where we can award up to £ 500 to local clubs. ”
