Billy Dillicar

William Wood Dillicar, known as Billy Dillicar, was a New Zealand lawn bowls player, born on 21 June 1881 and died on 28 July 1962. A member of the Whitiora Bowling Club, he was selected to represent New Zealand in the men's fours at the 1934 British Empire Games in London, alongside Harold Grocott, George Pollard and George Carter, who skipped the rink. The four won four of their nine round-robin matches and finished in fifth place. Away from bowls he and his brother established the Hamilton grocery firm Dillicar Brothers, he was for many years the bellringer at St Paul's Methodist church in Hamilton, and he served on the Hamilton Borough Council from 1931 until poor health led him to resign in 1945.
