Please read the attached document which details the bowling events involving our Club during the week beginning Monday 6 September.

Firstly, huge commiserations to George Richardson who lost the Final of the Senior Gents’ EBA Knockout Singles against Mayfield B.C. at Brunstane last Friday afternoon. Hard lines, George. But a wonderful achievement in getting to the Final.
