April 2024 Saturday 27th Opening Drive - Well what a start to the season. Over 50 members attended the Opening Drive and we were lucky to play 18 ends before the rain started. A very enjoyable afternoon was had albeit a bit cold and after the game everyone adjourned to the club house and enjoyed a buffet provided by all the members.
Sunday 28th Away v Runwell Hospital - a very cold afternoon saw 18 players visiting Runwell Hospital Bowls Club. At the start of the afternoon it was agreed that 10 ends would be played followed by tea and biscuits when it would be decided if we would continue to play a further 8 ends. After the 10 ends it was agreed that we would continue as all though cold the rain had stayed away. The final score was 92 to Maldon and 85 to Runwell.
