This past 15 months has been very challenging due to Covid 19. Competitions in accordance with Bowls England were cancelled. Bowling was restricted to only a few members on the green at any one time.
The club membership remained loyal, we all kept in touch and those who were in need we ensured they were provided for.
In 2019 we purchased our Bowling Green from Taylor Wimpy. The members donated the purchase costings. We also became a Charity Incorporated Organisation (CIO) ensuring our future.
Volunteers
We wish to thank all our volunteers for the endless work maintaining the Bowling Green and surrounds. We have landscaped two new flower beds that are giving much joy to all our members and passing neighbours.

The Trustees were elected by our members at our 2019 AGM. The Committee Officers are elected to serve for a three year term, ensuring a one year gap between each officer coming on and off the committee. The remaining committee are elected to serve one year.
