CHERITON Fitzpaine Short Mat Bowling Club members celebrated their 21st Anniversary in the Parish Hall with an Open Afternoon, during which visitors "had a go" under the tutelage of more experienced players and enjoyed refreshments supervised by member Brenda Fowler.

Prior to the party, Chairman, Terry Meakin had run a bric-a-brac table at the Parish Market morning to raise funds for the event.

Three of the founding members, Jean Carr, Nora Bulled and Brenda Fowler were present.

The Club meets on Wednesday evenings from September at 7.30pm in the Parish Hall. New members and visitors are always welcome.
