Merrow Village Bowls Club news from David Raison

On a cool, damp Sunday (April 15), club President Tony Oldland officially opened the Merrow Village Bowls Club’s green for the 2018 season.

Club members gather at the start of the 2018 season.

Tony welcomed new members Mike, John and Sally to the club. Also given a special mention were Len, Andy and Bernard for their work on erecting the new equipment shed.

Twenty three members turned out ready to see how well the green was performing. Unfortunately, the recent wet weather had hampered the green’s preparation, meaning that the grass was rather long for bowling.

Bowlers try out the green – a bit heavy due to all the rain recently!

Still, with the forecast for next week being for warm and sunny weather, we should be ready for our first home match on Sunday, April 22, when we host Liphook.
