This is followed by the President’s Day game on the Sunday – in this case, the President in question is the Prattens President (Brian Weekes) and not the Somerset Bowls President (Barrie Dando) although he may well be there in his role as Prattens’ Chairman.

We look forward to a full season of bowls and, as usual, lots of sociable fun around the games and other events.
