Ringwood Bowling Club

At long last, the new bowling mats have arrived. These yellow mats, kindly donated to the club by Mark Brocklebank, were held up by the blocking of the Suez Canal, when the container ship 'Ever Given' ran aground. Many thanks Mark, most appreciated.

Congratulations to the following lady players who have reached the NFWBA Competition Finals being played on 3rd and 6th September at Lymington Bowling Club:-

Jenny, Helen and Chris Dalrymple are playing in the Jubilee Triples against Waterside.

Debbie and Jenny are playing in the Cox‘s Pairs against Mavis and Sue, which means that Ringwood will be winning a Cup this year
