Open day at Welford Bowls Club was well attended with new members signed up
THE beauty of the historic sport of bowls is that anyone can play whatever their age.
That’s why members and visitors at Welford Bowls Club enjoyed the social atmosphere created at an indoor bowls open day last weekend which saw a 12-year-old play a 90-year-old during one match.
About 60 people visited the club last Saturday with 25 per cent signed up for more bowling action in November.
“It went very well,” said Brian Lythall, Welford men’s captain, director and senior vice president of Warwickshire County Indoor Bowls Association. “We had five or six youngsters come down and we do get players who like to visit us because of our indoor green and we have an indoor bowling alley as well. It was so nice to be together again after Covid took its effect and we can cater for players of all sorts of abilities.”
It’s just been another successful season for Welford who won eight county titles, the Kineton League for the third year running and it all starts again with the new season about to get underway.
