Report
The people were very welcoming at the club but at the start of the competition the music was far too load which spoilt the experience slightly.

Report
Attended for the umpteenth time for the Visually Impaired Bowls England National Indoor Pairs Championships. As ever, the club was very accommodating and welcoming. Great support from local players as markers and scores. Wonderful catering from Dave and his team and excellent bar service. A bowls venue to be proud of!
