It will be in Torquay again (Victoria Hotel) and for the reasonable price of £100 - £120 each, dependant on accommodation requests.

Outdoor Bowls Tour 2013

Someone (not mentioning any names - Ray Jeffery) had the idea of having an outdoor bowls tour next year. Before anything is done I would like to guage peoples views in how many would be interested. If it did happen it would be probably around middle of September 2013 and would be in the Torquay area. Maybe for 3-4 days. So if interested let Ray (Limpy) Jeffery know or myself.

Golowan Festival. Sunday 24th June


Dear Members
 
Penlee were asked and agreed to host a taster day as part of the golowan festival. The promenade is to provide a taste of various activities with a sporting theme and we are providing the opportunity to play bowls. We are also looking to provide refreshments to anyone who wants to pay!! To this end we do need your support in various ways. The first is to turn up through the day (from approx 11am to 4pm) where we can have roll-ups etc. Secondly any food (preferably that can be frozen) would be very welcome as well.
 
Please try to help make this day a success.
 
Martin

A Rare Event

Was down at the club this evening and witnessed a very rare event. Fortunately I had my camera with me - I was waiting for my daughter & granddaughter to pass by in the "Race for Life" - so was able to record it for the non-believers.  Maurice Weeks hasn't had three woods this close to the jack for years! No chalk though.
