Lynn Probert

Ernest Lynn Probert (7 June 1912 to 20 February 1981) was a Welsh international lawn bowler who competed at the British Empire and Commonwealth Games, now known as the Commonwealth Games. He was a member of the Abergavenny Bowling Club. In 1960 the Abergavenny four of Probert, Albert Evans, Claude Stephens and Tom Griffiths won the national fours title at the Welsh National Bowls Championships, and the same four then won the British Isles Bowls Championships in 1961. Probert won a second national title in 1963 when he took the Welsh singles championship, and he kept representing Wales at international level. He is remembered at Abergavenny for leading the renovation and extension of the club pavilion, which opened after his death and was dedicated to his memory.
