Club news:
Bowls was washed out on Saturday, August 8.
A round of the championship triples was set to be played.
Bowls secretary Dan Ticehurst has stated that with the coronavirus pandemic it has thrown the championships matches in disarray and trying to organise 12 months programming into six months is not a easy task.
Playing championships will be a very congested bowls program, so for the rest of the year players are asked to check the notice board on a regular basis.
