Bowling Fun in the Sun

Bowls for Fun is now 3 years old. We have just started our 3rd season and continue to attract new members each week. From being absolute beginners many of the group are now good bowls players, although the emphasis remains on enjoying the afternoons in the sun rather than competition. We are lucky to be able to play on the good greens and now have the opportunity to play twice weekly as federation members. Great way to spend a sunny afternoon.
