Three of these afternoons were party afternoons {Valentines, the club's anniversary and summer parties). 6- 8 members play snooker 2 afternoons per week. Up to 16 members use the club premises on Wednesday and Friday afternoons for short mat bowls. In the summer months a number of members use the nearby municipal bowling green for outdoor bowls three afternoons per week. Members play casual games, internal tournaments as well as fielding a team in a local league. A large Broup of members visited a local restaurant for a very pleasant Christmas lunch. When not in use for club activities the premises are available for hire to local groups. Some of these groups have the same target audience as the club, thus 5UPPOrting our aims, but in any event the income helps defray the costs of maintaining our premises. 2 coffee mornin8s open to the public also brought further income to help with costs.
