THE curtains came down on Ardrossan Outdoor Bowling Club’s 175th season recently with the traditional closing day.

The annual event takes place at the end of the season and has been a mixed day for the last few seasons with both men and women members enjoying a relaxing day of bowls, banter and drinks.

This season’s day was slightly later than usual due to the vast amount of competitions the club held during the season but that did not dampen the spirits and the weather held out long enough to get a few ends played as well.
