Main Achievements

• Our Committee have been active and enthusiastic and have generated a great team spirit within our Club with members and committee pulling together.

• We have successfully maintained our membership over 600 across all age ranges as result of maintaining low membership fees and enhancing our facilities for recreational & social activities.

• We have successfully undertaken a range of internal fund raising activities, and continued to be pro-active in applying for various external grants. Funds raised this year have enabled us to complete construction of a new equipment storage facility, add additional lighting for football training nights, upgrade our internet access and redesign the Club’s website, reseed our football pitches, make reparations to our club house balconies and improve the surroundings of our bowling greens.

• We successfully hosted a number of bowls matches and competition finals for our local leagues and for the Shropshire County associations.
