Reepham Town Bowls Club - what a great start to the season

Well, we couldn't have asked for a better start to the season. The weather has certainly improved and we have signed up 10 new members with another four likely to join. We have purchased some new equipment, which was vital for the club through the kind donations we have received. I have mentioned these in earlier blogs, but once again thank you to you all.
 
On that note we are now desperate to purchase a new scarifier for the green, so if anybody can assist with a donation to go towards it, it would be greatly appreciated.

Just a reminder that our opening day is the 20th April at 2.30 pm. Just pop along if you want to see if you are interested. It does not matter if you have never played before, and we hope to have a roll up if the weather permits. If it does rain, we will still be there so you can meet other members and have a cup of tea.
