After much consideration of the safety aspects, we were able to open up the club on a limited basis, and on a sunny 30th May a fairly low-key opening saw the first bowls sent up rinks this year. The green played very well and what a relief it was to be out there again...
While it was great being able to bowl amongst ourselves, we also arranged to join in an informal local league of friendly matches, starting with a Ladies match on August 4th...
This was our first match played this season against another club. It was 'Ladies First' as they showed us all how it should be done!
An enjoyable game ended with Staines ahead on rinks but Bishop Duppas winning on shots.
More games followed, both home and away, against Ashford, Bishop Duppas, Chertsey, Fordbridge Park and Sunbury. Here are a few pictures from some of these matches (as reported on Twitter! Click on the blue links)...
We played Chertsey at home on August 26th...
Followed by Bishop Duppas on September 16th....
Now we look forward to next season. Fingers crossed we are more back to normal!
