Two sponsored competitions were held at our club over the past week. In addition John Withers and his assistants organised a Saturday morning where novices and other interested bowlers were taught how to mark a singles game and how to read a head and measure effectively. This past week John and his assistants again helped both novices and experienced bowlers by teaching them skills to help enhance their game. We extend thanks to everyone involved.
