Deanwood Park
Frank Tanner RIP
We are very sad to announce the passing on the 8th January of Frank Tanner, Honorary member at Deanwood.
Frank lived in Swindon but discovered Deanwood along with his wife and 2 friends back in 1997, the year I joined Deanwood. They all travelled from their home course of Cricklade to play Deanwood regularly and despite the passing of all his playing partners Frank stayed playing here ever since.
A charming and sweet character, he was always willing to join up and play a friendly 9 holes with whoever he came across on the course. He typified what Deanwood is all about and will be warmly remembered by all who knew him. We struggled to find a photo but in the end a gem appeared.
We made Frank an Honorary Member when he turned 90 which touched him greatly. He passed away last week just short of his 92nd birthday.
