Last Friday the club welcomed Scottburgh Probus Club members so that they too could enjoy the sport and an amazing entertaining and fun afternoon was enjoyed by bowler, non-bowler and new ‘converts’.
On Saturday, April 13, the next rounds of the men’s and ladies nominated pairs club championship were played.
The finals of both are to be played in the near future and should be great to watch (even if you are not yet a player).

Nomads play bowls at a different venue every month to raise money for different local charities and good causes.
