25-Year Membership Scroll Presentation to Alan Scourfield

On Monday 19 November 2018, twelve Brothers of Furness Circle, along with their ladies and guests joined in the dinner and after proceedings where a 25-Year Scroll was presented to Alan by Brother Provincial President Jim Livesey. 

Alan is a proud Welshman, having been born in Narbeth, Pembrokeshire, South-West Wales.  He joined Furness Circle in 1992 and until recently, together with his wife Anne, took a very active part in Circle affairs.  In the past, many happy evenings have been spent at BBQ parties at the Scourfield’s.

Alan was President of the Circle for two consecutive years 1997/98 and again in 1998/99, having a very successful time in office on both occasions.  He was, for a time, a joint member of the former Catenian Circle in Fleetwood.  Unfortunately, in recent years various health problems have curtailed Alan’s direct involvement in Circle and Association activities.

Alan spent a long career in the Royal Navy as a submariner.  However, Alan and Anne have nevertheless tried to continue their favourite holidays of going on cruises, where he can now view the sights from the surface!

After coming ashore, he ran a market garden business, as well as looking after the grounds at a local school.  He was also a well-respected judge of various horticultural shows in the Furness area.
