OPEN RECRUITMENT DAY - 4 MAY 2024
This event was advertised in both Alphington & St Thomas areas and as a result we welcomed 33 people to have a try at playing bowls at our Open Recruitment day. Visitors and club members enjoyed the warm sunshine and gentle introdcution to the sport. After having a go all enjoyed a cup of coffee and some snacks. We hope that a few of those attending will have a few further free sessions in the coming weeks and take up the enjoyable game of bowls.
