Many thanks to our new Treasurer, Brian Franklin, for arranging the re-covering of the bench seat. The old one lasted well for 30 years. It is certainly more comfortable as you can see from the happy faces.

It is with great sadness that we have been informed of the passing of Barry Hodgson, who was a Life member of the club. He was a significant contributor to both Indoor and Outdoor bowls. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this sad time.
