Axminster Bowls club got their 2013 outdoor season underway last weekend with the grand opening of the rinks, writes David Harris.

Lady president Lilian Lovatt was on hand to send the first wood away and this was followed by the annual ‘Roll-up’ which was enjoyed by some 25 members.

Unfortunately our first match scheduled for this weekend was cancelled at the last minute as the opposition were unable to raise a team!

The club are always delighted to welcome new members and anyone who would like to join a most friendly bunch, whether experienced bowlers of complete novices.

There’s tuition for starters in the sport held on Tuesday evenings at the club from 6.30pm through to 8pm with the first Tuesday night session on April 30.
