This week’s activity at Felbridge Bowling Club was subdued by comparison with recent weeks.

With all league matches completed, attention was concentrated on the internal competitions and the line up for Finals day was completed.

Matches will take place on Sunday, September 4 starting at 10.30am and will include a lunchtime barbecue for playing members and spectators.

Three friendly matches took place last week and, on the hottest afternoon of the year so far, the club beat Warlingham Park at their rink by 71-35.
