Maurice Hazelwood and Jill Howard
It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of both Maurice Hazelwood, former BWSW Chair, and Tournament Team Captain and Jill Howard, International Judge, Scorer and long time Toutech member.
Maurice had a lifetime of involvement in the Tournament discipline when it was very much at its peak in terms of profile and was also the founder of Hazelwood Ski World.
Jill sadly lost her battle with the cancer that she has been fighting for the last few years. Jill was one of the hardest workers in our sport and a lovely person to know and work with.
Both will be missed by the Waterski community.
