Wednesday 9th May
Chris Harding presented the winner of the Presidents Cup. The very delighted winner was Terry Cottle. He was even more delighted when he was told he could keep the cup, as it was the last Presidents Cup competition.

On Sunday 13th May
Bowling and social members enjoyed a day trip to the cave village of Alcala del Jucar. First stop was coffee in the charming historical town of Almansa. After a lovely walk along the banks of the river Jucar we went for lunch. We all enjoyed a lovely three course lunch in a mountain top restaurant with amazing views. Thank you to the ladies of the social committee for organising a enjoyable day trip.

Indalo Weekend

Over the weekend of 2nd & 3rd June
we played the annual fixture against our friends from Indalo Bowls Club, Mojacar. This year it was Indalo’s turn to visit us in Gran Alacant. We played two sessions of bowls, one on Saturday afternoon and one on Sunday morning. A total of twelve games were played with two points for each game. Scores were level at eleven points all, with one game still to be finished. With the last bowl of the game Indalo scored the winning shot and edged the series by thirteen points to eleven. After the game many of us had lunch together at the Belfry which was a fitting end to a successful weekend for both clubs. Next year we are due to visit Indalo.
