Courtauld Halstead Bowls Club members have had a very successful indoor season this winter, winning five out of their eight matches.

The final match was against Jacks and was won by 20 shots, leaving match captain Stan Jones “over the moon” with the season’s performance.

Elsewhere, Ros Car, Marion Smith, Eve Lock and Lin Samuel were unlucky at Colchester’s Gala day in early March.

The ladies made it all the way to the final, only to narrowly miss out on the last end.

Before the summer bowls season can begin, though, the club will have its annual spring clean.

All volunteers are welcome from 9am on April 15, before the greens reopen on Friday, April 17.

The following Monday – April 20 – sees the return of Monday Night Club Evenings at 5.30pm.

Whether it be for a roll-up or to get in some practice and hone skills, Monday Night Club Evenings are there for all members to enjoy as well as a great opportunity for prospective members – old or young, professional or beginner – to come and have a go.

Any new players looking to try bowls will find Courtauld Halstead’s fully-qualified friendly coaches always on hand with tips and advice, with no commitment to join.
