WHAT a delight it was for the bowlers at Morchard Bishop Bowling Club to be able to finally gather together for the opening of the green, having spent more time on their own lawns than the Bowling Club’s last year.

On a sunny Saturday afternoon our President Marcia Mills had the honour of sending up the first bowl of the season. Marcia has been a stalwart member of the club for years and has achieved many honours at County level.

The Green is looking fantastic thanks to our hard working Green Keeper (Edwin Hutchins) and his team.

The Club has lots of exciting plans for the upcoming months, Tuesday roll ups, Thursday club nights, Club Competitions, our annual quiz and a full fixture list of friendly and league games starting at the end of June.

It’s the best time to get involved in a new sport, meet some new people and enjoy yourself once again in the fresh air of Devon.

So just turn up to a Club night on a Tuesday or a Thursday and you will be made very welcome and be given all the guidance you need including the use of a set of bowls!

The beauty of Morchard Bishop Bowling Club is that it is a small club where everyone knows each other and there are always plenty of rinks available for a roll up.

There is a warm welcome - and good rates - awaiting new members. All details of the Club can be found on the Bowls Devon website at: https://www.bowlsdevon.co.uk .
