For the benefit of our holidaymakers, men's bowls are played Wednesday at midday (Num Triples) and 9.30am on Fridays (DFP Pairs).

Sunday morning: Introduction to Bowls commences at 10am (DFP Triples Mixed).

Last Sunday saw the final of our Fours Championships with the team of Ron James, Adrian Yeo, John Parkinson and Tom Parkinson proving too strong for last year's champions - Noel Jackson, Danny Johnson, Bob Skewes and Ted Purkiss.

The winners jumped to an early lead and were always in charge, with the four players all having great games for the victors.

The entry sheet for the Triples Championship is now on the board so get your entries in ASAP.

Also, the mixed Konami Triples is on Saturday, January 20 - see board for details.

On Saturday, January 13, a trial was held between our own players with some good performances produced on the day.
