Chris Henderson President Marshland Tennis Club

August 21, 2023

Our sincere condolences to the Mackley family. Roly was a much loved member of the Marshland Tennis Club and well respected player. He loved nothing more than a great game of tennis. In his latter years he was the chief groundsman of the club and the grass has never been as green during summer as when Roly was looking after it. He earned his life membership by his loyalty and always helping out at the club. He will be remembered with affection by many of our present club members particularly as we celebrate 75 years of the club next year. You have earned your rest Roly, after a well lived life and we will miss you.

Sorry to hear of Roly´s passing. To be remembered as the man he was and not who he became at the end.
