AROUND 50 people were in attendance for Newton Abbot Bowls Club’s annual AGM on Saturday, November 16, reports David Pickett.

All positions are filled for next season already and the green is still looking good, thanks to the hard work of the greenkeepers.

The club continues to be in use during the winter months with Short Mat on Monday/Wednesday Mornings and Friday Evenings and one or two keen Members going up on other weekdays.

There are also events held for the members, including a recent horse racing evening and the usual Christmas get-together still to come.

To keep their eye in, some members play indoor bowls at the Derwent as well as further afield at places like Honiton and Kingsbridge, not to mention others playing in league events.

I am sure our members will wish Mike Johnston well, who is awaiting surgery and once completed, will hope to be running around the green again (not that I ever remember seeing Michael run)!
