A  MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT

Much work was carried out to ensure all members had an exciting time. There was the festival of bowls in the week leading up to the actual centenary date of Sunday June 11th 2006  on which day we held our Edwardian Day.

I feel sure that all club members,whether new or old,casual or bowl-aholics considered it an honour to be at our Centenary Dinner Dance and to join the celebrations together with family and friends for this landmark in the club's history.This was certainly  memorable for all.
