It was the yearly gala indoor bowling, I enjoyed every minute of the day, very friendly place to meet people or if you would like to have a try at bowls, then be there on Wednesday morning before 9-45 am someone will take care of you.

Lovely place to play indoor or outdoor bowls, the people here seem very friendly and helpful, and take time to explain how the club works including all aspects of joining the club and club comps and a number of teams etc.
