Last Sunday 30th July we saw the Frank Mew Triples competition played at the club which was an all day event of Round Robin matches.

All matches were played in high spirits and enjoyed by all.

There was of course a winner and runners up. The winners were James Cushon, Matt Deery and Dennis Smith with the runners up being Paul Alland, Tim Deery and Simon Leighton.

​

Our open day proved to be a great success, with the numbers of new members, (playing and social) reaching over 20. 

Welcome to all our new members and hope that you all enjoy bowling and social events with our club.

​

A big thankyou to those members involved in organizing the event and for recruiting new members by way of word of mouth, posters and social media.

​

We are still encouraging anyone else who may be interested in taking up bowls as a pastime or somewhere to socialize, to come along on Tuesday evenings and experience our friendly bowls club.

On Saturday September 16th we held our first Candlelight Memorial Bowls evening which was our final event of the season.
