Steve van der Veen is one of those larger-than-life characters who contributes to the club's colour and character.
Bon vivant, raconteur, provocateur and lovable rascal, he's also one of our finest bowlers.
Members ambushed Steve at Winter Bowls on Wednesday, 24 June 2026, with a birthday cake and a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday to mark a milestone birthday.
The photos capture both the celebration in the clubhouse and Steve's many moods and talents once he steps onto the green.
