CITY of Wells Bowling Club opened their new season on the Recreation Ground on April 13 with the traditional “rolling of the first wood” by the Mayor of Wells, Councillor Jasmine Browne.
Club President Heather Willerton invited the Mayor to bowl the first wood to officially open the green for 2025.
Thanks to the recent spell of fine weather, the annual ‘Pinks’ v ‘Blues’ game, organised by Ladies Captain Rachael Allen, was able to go ahead and four rinks played a 12-end game. The players then joined the other members in attendance in the clubhouse for tea and home-made cake.
Captain Rachael announced the result as ‘an honourable draw’ and wished everyone an enjoyable season.
The club is always looking for new members of all ages and standards, including beginners. Club nights are every Monday evening from 6pm. Coaching is available and can be arranged to suit. Equipment will be provided, participants just need to wear flat shoes.
“We want to make the club more of a community asset,” said Chairman Andy Barrett.
“Anyone interested in bowls is welcome to our club nights on Mondays, and also in May, every Sunday, between 11am and 1pm. A friendly welcome awaits.”
For those who just want to sit and enjoy the surroundings and facilities, an associate (non-playing) membership is available for £10.
