Chapmanslade Short Mat Bowls Club is looking for new members as it celebrates 16 years of providing friendly fun competitions to people in the area.

The club recently held its annual Singles competition, a chance for members to test their ability against fellow competitors. Following some closely fought early rounds, the two finalists were Margaret Butler and Tony Shipway, who put on an superb show of entertaining bowls, with Tony finishing the victor.

Trophies will be awarded to the pair during the Annual General Meeting in Chapmanslade Village Hall next month.

Current members have joined over the past years from various surrounding towns and villages and if you find yourself interested the club will be more than happy to see you give it a try, and promise a warm welcome. They meet every Friday at 7.15pm in the village hall - for more info contact Vaughan Rees on 01373 832457.
