St Albans Bowling Club held their final day of the season on Sunday.

As so many members wanted to play in the last game the green was set up to play with seven rinks rather than the usual six.

The game took the form of a spoon drive with members keeping a record of their own score. The winner of the spoon drive competition was Trevor Ewer, Maralyn Pomeroy was second and Mike Jefferies finished third.

A spider was held at the start of the proceedings with all money donated divided equally between the two captain’s charities - Imagine based in Mozambique and Epilepsy Research. The winner of the spider was Eileen Englebright and the runner-up was Phil Macarthur.

The presentation of trophies to all the finalists was made by president Rod Perks.

He paid a special tribute to John Gardiner who is a dedicated member and works so hard for the benefit of members.

Captain Steve Wilson presented the clubman of the year award to honorary secretary John Bartlett.

Anyone interested in taking up bowls is always made welcome. Free coaching will once again be available at the start of next season.
