As soon as the outdoor season finished, it was indoors for the start of the new season on Monday, where a full weekly programme of various leagues for Ladies, Men and Open has been organised for the 180 members. It’s when members of all the local outdoor clubs come together for the winter as one indoor club in a friendly, yet competitive, environment. Once again, we will be running special sessions for bowlers new to indoor bowls, whether they have previous outdoor experience or are complete novices. These sessions will be held on Tuesdays at 4.15 p.m., and are open to anyone who would like to come along. All are welcome.
