The League is saddened to hear that Rose Winship, former Head of Cultural Services at Warwick District Council, died peacefully in her sleep in Myton Hospice at 5am on Saturday 21st December.

She was well known within the CBA having played for Warwickshire Masters as well as clubs within the CBA. For those of you who did not know her, Rose worked for Warwick District Council for all her working life, rising from part-time, casual lifeguard to the Head of Cultural Services before retiring soon after the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, where she had led the Council’s hosting of the bowls and road cycling events. 

Rose was completely dedicated to providing services to local people and the sports, leisure and arts legacy she has left in the District is huge and many residents, including LCAC members,  will enjoy these activities in the District as a result of her work for many years to come.  

We send our condolences to her family and friends.

The funeral will take place at Oakley Wood Crematorium, Oakley Wood Rd, Bishop’s Tachbrook, Leamington Spa CV33 9QP at 10am on Friday 10th January. All who knew Rose will be welcome.
