Saturday, April 22 saw members and guests turn out for the opening of the green for the 2017/18 session.

President Roger Thornton welcomed everyone and invited them outside for the opening ceremony.

Before proceedings began he presented member Fred Galloway with his Certificate of Life Membership. 

Past President Cyril Owen then presented President Roger with a memento of his presidency before “passing the green” over to President Roger and this was followed by the President’s wife Jan throwing the first bowl and jack to signify the opening of the green. 

Bouquets of flowers were presented.

A game of ten ends of bowls was then played. 

This was followed by a buffet meal and a raffle which raised £200.
