Last season both our Men’s League Monday
teams and Thursday teams were promoted
to the first division and were expected to
struggle in these divisions, but we finished
mid table or better. The increasing strength
in depth in the club has enabled us to enter
another team on Mondays.
Membership of the Ladies Section has
increased significantly. The club now has
one of the largest lady memberships in the
county. Our team in the mixed league
remains in Division 1.
Record numbers from the local community
turned out each Friday night, when the club
opens its doors to new bowlers and starters.
Over 60 members participated in our Short
Mat Bowls held indoors during the winter,
providing exercise and social interaction at a
difficult time for many.| |**Additional information (optional)**
