This year our club Charity will be the Children’s Hospice South West and all proceeds from this jar and other organised events will be presented at the end of the Financial year. “Charity the Cat” will be on the bar for all to donate to – even if you have not crossed the threshold for an automatic donation. This is very worthwhile local charity and deserves our support.

Isle of Wedmore Bowls Club Green Opening was very different this year. It was the first to be held in two sessions on a Sunday and, due to the ongoing COVID restrictions, there was no bar or refreshments served, “bring your own” prevailed. Currently we are restricted to no more than 24 players on the Green at any one time. The weather was lovely and sunny with little or no wind and the Green looked good and played well, thanks to the work of the Green team over the winter.
Play started with all the bowlers standing round the green for a “spider” with the proceeds going to the Visually Handicapped Bowls. Bottles of whisky were presented to Peter Smith and Julie Collins for getting closest to the spider.
12 ends of bowls were played, in each session with a break halfway. It was lovely to see members again after the lockdowns and welcome some new faces who joined during last year.
We are pleased to announce the winners of the Bonanza draw for one year’s free outdoor membership of the club. The luck winners are:-
Kate Hunt
Steve Gard
David Cole
Peter Rosser
Kate Fielder
Terry Fountain
Jean Gregory
Deborah Taylor
Peter Duke
