Village Fete
The village fete held on Saturday 10th June
was well attended and a huge success for all. The Bowls Club had
their usual bottle tombola which was sold out within the first
hour. we need to ensure that we have more bottle next year.
The traditional start of the fete was the
crowning of the Rose King and Queen. This year we were happy to
see that one of our young players, Harry Foulks, being crowned
as Rose King together with Eva Richardson as Rose Queen.
Harry has been coming to the club for over a
year with his mum Lorraine and dad Jay. Lorraine, now one of our
new bowlers is taking part in our club Friday Night League and
also many of the Mixed and Ladies matches against other clubs.
Harry is keen to take up bowls and did very well playing Short
Mat over the winter.
He is currently trying on the outdoor green
and is improving all the time. A future bowler in the making.

With the opening of the green for this years outdoor season we will have our regular Open Night on a Friday evening from 6.30pm. Why not come along and take advantage of a few taster sessions with the help and guidance of our members.
Along with the bowls it is a good social evening with a weekly Meat Raffle (Heyford Meats).
If you are thinking of taking up a new sport in 2023 then why not give lawn bowls a try. we have spare bowls for you to use and only ask that you wear flat soled shoes to protect the green surface.
