THE season has drawn to a close for Keynsham Bowling Club and the last wood has been bowled on the green in Keynsham Park for 2024.
We finished on the last Sunday in September when 40 members enjoyed the dry but somewhat chilly weather and then retired to the clubhouse, joining other club members for a fish and chip supper.
Earlier in the month, two of our “younger” members, Jane Coles and Paul Matthews, took part in a novice pairs competition at West Backwell Bowling Club, where 27 other teams were involved. They won all of their games, involving a shot difference of plus-40.
Our picture shows Jane and Paul with their newly won trophy – posing the question: whose mantelpiece will it adorn?
Many of our members – both ladies and gents – will keep their eye in and fitness levels up by bowling indoors during the close season, travelling to Bristol, Chippenham and Paulton to play. Our clubhouse will still be well used as members gather for the monthly coffee morning and social events.
